  • Asked by Andy from Hebron, Il
    08/28/2019
    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
    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.

  • Asked by Mike from Fort Atkinson, Wi
    09/20/2021
    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 Chris from Doylestown, Pa
    09/13/2019
    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.
