    Q
    Does Sevin work on Azaleas with bark scale?
    A

    While Sevin Concentrate is labeled for a variety of different scales, it is not labeled for bark scale. It would be best to drench with an imidacloprid product such as Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I. Some extension office actually recommend avoiding Seven for scale

    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?

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
    I mixed Sevin Concentrate 8 oz to two gallons of water and poured it on the base of some pine trees.
