Sevin Concentrate is not labeled for application on animals. You can find our selection of pet products here.
Sevin Concentrate can take time to kill insects, depending on the age and health, how long they spend on the treated area and how soon after application they contact it. It can take a few hours up to 24 or more for insects to die. You will just need to monitor the treated plants for any more signs of insects.
Sevin Concentrate is labeled for over 250 pests so that might be an option for you. However, without knowing what type of insect you are actually treating for we cannot say for sure that it would work. If you are able to get a good, clear picture of the pest, you are welcome to email it to us at [email protected] and we will do our best to identify it for you. You can also contact your local cooperative extension office for assistance.
Sevin Concentrate will kill the adult termites that are sprayed with the product. It will not replace a termite soil treatment around the perimeter of the structure. There are products that you can use to treat in the tree directly. Just keep in mind that termites are there because the tree is already dead or dying, so be sure to take down dead trees before they cause other damage. You could use Alpine Ant and Termite Foam to spot treat exactly where the galleries are in the tree. This product has a foaming agent to help coat the inside of any voids. Alternatively, you could use Dominion 2L as a spray, again treating inside the galleries directly. We would recommend using a termiticide like Taurus SC against the foundation in a trench or drilled holes (where there is concrete). You can find more information on doing a complete treatment for termites in our Termite Control Guide.
