    Q
    What setting on a hose-end sprayer do you use to spray Sevin Concentrate?
    what setting do you use to spray Sevin Concentrate with a hose end sprayer such as Ortho Dial n Spray. The label says you can apply with this method, but it does not reference a setting.
    A
    Because every hose-end sprayer is different, we cannot say specifically what setting you will need to use. The water is just acting as a carrier for the concentrate, so you should start with a low setting and see how much water you use to cover a small area and then adjust your settings accordingly. There is more detail in the chart of page 5 of the product label.

    Q
    Will Sevin kill black vine weevil?
    A
    Sevin is labeled for weevils but does not exactly list black vine weevil. Talstar is labeled for treatment of weevils and many of our customers have cited success with Talstar for weevils.  The product label calls for half an ounce per gallon of water, and this should be applied over 1000 square feet.  There are not really any special instructions other then to cover all foliage completely including the base and trunks of the non-edible plants.

    Spider mites have infected my tomato plants.

This product can be used inside homes, in home gardens for labeled fruits and vegetables, and on ornamental plants and lawns around residential, industrial, commercial, and other non-agricultural outdoor areas.

    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.

  • Asked by Perry from Lakeland Fl
    01/11/2014
    Q
    Can you spray Sevin for fleas inside
    A
    Sevin is only labeled for outdoor use so would not be used inside.

    We recommend using the Indoor Flea Kit. The Indoor Flea Kit with Alpine Aerosol and CimeXa dust treats over 2000 sq. ft. of space and is an excellent combination for long-lasting flea control. The kit contains two cans of Alpine Aerosol which is one of the safest professional grade flea sprays for use indoors and was recently classified as a reduced risk product by the EPA. It provides excellent control of fleas and contains an IGR as well, which prevents adult fleas from being able to lay eggs, eventually halting the flea reproductive cycle.  You'll also get two bottles of CimeXa Dust which is a safe, odorless, non-staining dust that is perfect for spreading on carpets, floor coverings, in cabinets, under furniture cushions, and other areas where fleas tend to harbor.  As fleas come into contact with CimeXa, the dust literally dries the fleas out causing eventual death.  These two products together create a powerful double punch providing excellent, safe and lasting indoor flea control.

  • Asked by Nick from Coloma, Michigan
    10/01/2013
    Q
    How often do I use Sevin to kill fleas and will the fleas come back
    A

    You did not mention what Sevin product you are referring to but the Sevin Concentrate product must make direct contact on the fleas for product to be effective per the product label so you would be making applications anytime fleas are present outdoors.

    If you are looking to treat inside and outside for fleas, you should definitely get our Indoor/Outdoor Flea Kit.  It comes with an excellent product called Onslaught, which is great for both outdoors and indoors.  It is also very safe around pets and has a long residual.  Also in the kit is an IGR called Martins IGR.  It is photo-stable up to 14 days which is about as long as you will find for an IGR that will be outside.  Of course you should mix both together in the same tank and apply at the same time both outside and inside.  

    You must vacuum indoors prior to the first treatment and then vacuum daily for 14 days to help eliminate some of the flea eggs and flea debris that the pupae feed on. Outdoors you should concentrate on moist, shady areas and areas where the animals spend time resting. After 14 days a retreatment may be needed to eliminate any left over fleas (the kit comes with enough product for repeat applications).

  • Asked by Amy from Louisiana

    Q
    I diluted the Sevin concentrate in a sprayer. I made a gallon and didn't use it all, so I left it in there. When I went to use it again today, it had turned brown and smells funny. What happened, and is it still safe to use?
    A
    We do not recommend applying the product if it has changed in color and smells different. All liquid concentrates should be mixed when you are ready to apply within 24 hours. The solutions left in the sprayer tank could damage your equipment and be less effective in treatment.
