    Q
    Can you use Sevin dust or spray on a Young Red Bud Trees?
    Has small holes in leaves.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate can be used on ornamental trees such as red buds. If the tree is flowering, then we do not recommend applying to trees or other plants while in bloom. Or, you would want to test a small area for possible sensitivity before treating a whole tree or many trees in an area. You would use 4 oz per gallon of water and spray up to the point of runoff making sure to cover all sides of leaves and trunk. Do not apply more than once per seven days. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.

    Is Sevin Concentrate available in a clear spray instead of white?

  • Asked by Nettie
    10/08/2016
    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate kill lizards?
    A

    No, Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to kill lizards. We do know of any products that are made to harm lizards. We would recommend using a general insecticide, such as Suspend SC. This will kill their food source and help with keeping the lizards out of the treated area. Glue boards can also be used to catch them as well.
