  • Asked by Angelique from Minnesota
    05/30/2016
    Q
    When should I start spraying the Sevin Concentrate on my plants and will it kill my little sprouts?
    I know the instructions say to start using it when you see the bugs, but I don't want to see the bugs before I start to kill them. I don't want to give them a chance to kill my pumpkins and gourds. My pumpkins and gourds have sprouted and are just starting to get little vines. If I, of course, though by the instructions on the label for the amount, when is it safe for the plants to start spraying them without damaging them?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is an insecticide designed to kill and prevent insects from infesting the vegetation you are treating. You can preventatively spray before you see bugs to get ahead of the game, and the product will not harm the plants you are spraying it on as long as you follow the instructions on the product label.

    05/15/2016
    Q
    How Long Does Sevin Concentrate Remain Active On Plant?
    I know that I can spray plants seven days after a previous spraying and am limited to six sprayings per season. To better utilize my six sprayings, how long does the Sevin remain effective before I have to spray again to have active protection?
    A

    There are many variables contributing as to how long Sevin Concentrate stays on a plant.  Please review the product label.  You will find a very helpful table listing the Pre Harvest Interval and number of applications allowed for each plant. You can reappy 14 days after initial application.

  • Asked by Jamie from San Mateo
    04/05/2016
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate work on an apricot tree that has borers?
    Tree is producing sap bubbles, clear and parts of the limbs are dying.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate could be used on apricot trees for prevention and early treatment. Per the product label: Do not use on large trees or where pest populations are generally inaccessible to spray deposits, as inadequate performance will result. 

    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 to simply protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use.  There is a great read here by University of CA.

    Q
    If the instructions are followed on the label, how much of a chance is there that Sevin Concentrate is going to kill the plants and not just the bugs?
    I read some reviews and one of them said that this product killed their garden.
    A

    If Sevin Concentrate is used as directed, the product should not kill your garden. Be sure to check the label for the specific mixing ratios, as well as the harvest times for each edible.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill grubs in my lawn?
    We had grubs damage the lawn last fall and need to treat for this summer.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to control grubs.  A better option would be something like Merit Granules or Dominion 2L (if you prefer a liquid) to spray your yard at the end of April/beginning of May to start protecting your yard against grub populations this year.

  • Asked by Ron from Trenton, Nj
    03/15/2016
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate stain my sidewalk?
    I applied Sevin Concentrate to my bushes and a couple days later my sidewalk was stained an orange color.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is white or beige in color and when mixed according to label instructions should form a clear solution that will also be clear when it dries, so there is really no way that it could have caused an orange stain.  Were there any other products that may have been applied in the area around the same time that the Sevin was applied?  There are many herbicide (weed killer) products that do have an orange color and can cause staining on concrete if not applied carefully.  If you do feel that it was the Sevin which caused the staining, you may want to contact the manufacturer directly.  You can reach GardenTech at 866-945-5033.

    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate go bad with age?
    I have an old bottle (about 20 years old) Is it still safe to spray for spiders on the exterior of my house
    A

    Sevin Concenrate has a shelf life of 3-5 years so therefore the bottle you have would not be effective. We would not recommend using Sevin Concentrate for the treatment of spiders as there are better products for spiders. Suspend SC is a great general purpose insecticide for outside perimeter treatments.
