Sevin Concentrate does treat a wide variety of insects on ornamental plants such as oak. You would use 1.5 oz of concentrate per gallon of water on ornamentals.

We can make an accurate recommendation for you once you have identified a specific pest.
Because every hose-end sprayer is different, we cannot say specifically what setting you will need to use. The water is just acting as a carrier for the concentrate, so you should start with a low setting and see how much water you use to cover a small area and then adjust your settings accordingly. There is more detail in the chart of page 5 of the Sevin Concentrate product label.
While Sevin Concentrate is labeled for armyworms and cutworms, it will not work for grubs. It is important to know exactly what type of worm you are dealing with to be able to confirm if it will work for them. If you are able to get a picture of the worm and email it to us at support@domyownpestcontrol.com , we can try to assist in identifying the pest. We will say that Sevin is a not a systemic so it is not absorbed by grass for those pests that feed on the roots.
Applying more product than the Sevin Concentrate label directs could cause damage such as burning on your desirable plants. If you have just made the application, then you can water the plants well to remove excess product. Otherwise, be sure you water the plants regularly and check the mix rate next time you mix the product.
You may apply Sevin Concentrate safely and effectively in temperatures between 40 degrees and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It would not be recommended to apply to plants during the heat of the day to prevent burning. Apply early morning or in the evening to prevent harm.
