    Q
    Can Sevin help with something that is eating leaves on my oak seedlings?
    Could be a caterpillar?
    A

    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 do recommend inspecting the plants, especially the undersides of the leaves, to help you identify what, exactly is causing the problem. We can make an accurate recommendation for you once you have identified a specific pest.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill chafer bettle larvae?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate will kill many types of adult beetles, but it will not treat the larvae or grubs. We would recommend using a systemic product earlier in the season before egg hatch for the best results, such as Merit Insecticide Granules. If you currently are seeing grub/larvae damage, then Dylox is the curative treatment that works right away on these pests.

  • Asked by Deb from Kissimmee, Fl
    05/08/2018
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill hookworms in the soil?
    A

    Unfortunately the Sevin Concentrate is not labeled for hookworms. There is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms. While some insecticides that are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insect may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels. We recommend thatif you have pets, they be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation. Another option is to remove the contaminated soil and replace if you cannot keep out for 1 year.
