  • 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.

    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.

  • Asked by Jon from Barre, Vermont
    07/30/2019
    Q
    Should I attempt to wash the plants that were sprayed if I used more Sevin Concentrate than is directed?
    I accidentally mixed Sevin and applied it at 4x the correct rate. Will it kill them?
    A

    Applying more product than the Sevin Concentrate label directs could cause damage such as burning on your desirable plants. If you have just made the application, then you can water the plants well to remove excess product. Otherwise, be sure you water the plants regularly and check the mix rate next time you mix the product.
