    A

    Sevin Concentrate is labeled to target gall wasps is used as directed, and can be applied as a spot treatment on ornamental trees by spraying up to the point of run-off, making sure to cover all sides of leaves and trunk.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate work on stalk borer caterpillars on bee balm plants as a soil drench?
    A

    The Sevin Concentrate should kill any stalk borer that comes into contact with it, that being said, its not a systemic product so its not one that will get taken up by the plant.  Common stalk borer caterpillars can be difficult to manage because caterpillars that tunnel into stalks are very well protected. Cultural control for common stalk borer includes any weed management plan that limits or eliminates grasses near field margins. We do not have an effective control for borers that are inside of the stem. Per the Iowa State Extension research article on stalk borers: Plants can sometimes be saved by slicing open the stem and removing the borers by hand.   Wilted plants should be considered as a source of additional borer problems and these should be removed and destroyed.  The best suggestion is to keep weeds and tall grasses controlled and mowed around gardens and flowers, especially in the fall.  This will help eliminate sites that are attractive to the adult moths and the young borers.

    Q
    Do I broadcast the Sevin Concentrate or spray only plants in large field?
    I have 6 acres of newly planted strawberries. When they say 2qts/acre, does that mean I use a boom sprayer (spray the whole field) or is that rate for just spraying the rows of plants. Also, how much water with the 2 qts of Sevin per acre?
    A

    Per page 8 of the product label you would need to mix 3.0 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water and spray upper and lower leaf surfaces and between fruit clusters and on small limbs and trunks
    to the point of runoff where pest appear.  Repeat applications as necessary up to a total of  five times per year for small fruits, but not more often than once every seven days.

    We cannot find anything on the product label that mentions the 2 qt/acre application so we are unsure where that information came from.

    Q
    Will Sevin kill house files? I have a terrible problem with flies on my shrubs surrounding my patio.
    Impossible to sit outside without covering your food or glass. Flies cover my shrubs and constantly land on you. So difficult to sit outside or entertain, let alone how many get in the house. We live in the county, rural area with 5 acres but no life-stock.
    A
    Sevin Concentrate is labeled to kill Sawflies. However, we would recommend our Flies Be Gone Fly Trap for long term control. Flies Be Gone traps appeal strongly to a flies' natural instincts. It provides them with food and a warm place to lay eggs. Once inside the trap, they cannot escape. Flies Be Gone bait is especially appealing to female flies. Up to 85% of flies caught are female, which helps decrease the next generation of flies.

    Q
    Which dial hose end sprayer is best for Sevin concentrate?
    I used an ortho dial a spray and it would stop up. Just wondering if any of them work.
    A
    Sevin Concentrate should not clog up hose end sprayers, if they are cleaned after every use. We have just added a new hose end sprayer the Chapin 6005. This hose end sprayer can spray liquid and dilute water soluble powders without issue.

    Q
    I need to control scale on a young tulip tree.
    Will Sevin concentrate poured on the ground in the root area do the job?
    A
    Sevin Concentrate is used mainly as a foliar treatment. It can be sprayed directly on the tree to treat for scale. If you are wanting to treat systemically, Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench would be a better option. It is safe to use on your trees. You will use 1 fl. oz. per inch of distance around the trunk.
