    Q
    Can I use this to treat the ground around my grape vines and kill off Japanese beetles before they emerge?"
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is best applied directly to the plants you need to treat for Japanese Beetles adults, it is not meant to be used just on soil.  Milky Spore would be a better option to treat for the Japanese Beetle grubs in the soil.

    Q
    If I sprayed Sevin concentrate on the soil is it absorbed by nearby plants?
    I sprayed Sevin around the base of my plants, including milkweed to stop army worms from getting in my flower beds. Is Sevin absorbed by the plants? I have monarch butterfly caterpillars that are eating that milkweed. Will it harm the caterpillars?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not systemic so is not absorbed by the plants.  It is labeled to control many varieties and species of caterpillars so would kill any that feed off the plants foliage or areas that have been sprayed.

    Q
    How long will the zeta-cypermethrin in Sevin Concentrate remain effective after applied to cedar lumber?
    My greenhouse is built out of cedar lumber. I can see tiny insects running across the shelves as well as on top of the soil of some of my potted cacti. If I spray down the cedar wood shelves, how long will the zeta cypermethrin remain effective?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate, containing the active ingredient of Zeta-Cypermethrin, has a residual kill of up to 3 months when used as instructed on the product label. Keep in mind, however, that this product is not labeled for use inside of greenhouses. You can apply this to the exterior of structures and to plants outdoors.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill bees on contact?
    A

    According to the Sevin Concentrate product label "This product is highly toxic to honeybees and other bees. Do not apply to plants in bloom." Almost all insecticides are toxic to bees as they are not really  selective.  You can help limit any effect to bees by being careful not to apply the insecticides when bees are actively foraging in the area.

    Q
    Cleaning the sprayer after using Sevin Concentrate
    Can I just dump the excess solution and then just rinse out the sprayer with plain water to clean it?
    A

    The normal protocol in the industry when using the same sprayer for multiple chemicals including Sevin Concentrate, is to triple rinse it between each use or use a tank cleaner. You would want to run clean water not only through the tank, but pressurize it to pump clean water through the pump itself, hose, wand and nozzle to clean them. As long as you do a thorough job rinsing it you can swap over to a new chemical right away in the same sprayer.

  • Asked by Scott from Prescott, Arizona
    03/06/2021
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill bark beetles (the fivespine ips)?
    The invasive bark beetle in Ponderosa Pine
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is labeled to treat bark beetles. The label states it should not be applied to trees larger than 10 feet tall; this is possibly because doing so would not apply an adequate amount of product to the trunk to be effective in killing insects that contact it. When treating for bark beetles, it is recommended to spray up to 15 feet high since generally they do not go much higher than that.  You can use a product like Permethrin SFR to do so. Unfortunately, once the borers have already infested the tree there are not any viable treatment options as they would be protected from sprays. In cases of infestation, the general recommendation is simply to protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use. Infested trees will need to be trimmed and/or completely removed.
