    Q
    Can vegetables be washed of Sevin to be eaten safely before PHI?
    My husband sprayed our green beans and corn with Sevin and they are both ready now to pick. My husbands suggests I pick it anyway and just wash it off. Is this safe?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to be applied to green beans so any that were sprayed with the product would need to be disposed of. For corn you should not harvest for 3 days after an application per the product label. Then, you can harvest the corn and wash it off safely. Consuming before the PHI directed on the product label would not be recommended to be safe.

    Q
    How do you use Sevin Concentrate control and prevent all pests for sweet corn?
    How much Sevin do you need to apply and how often? At what stage of corn do you start and finish spraying? Can you spray directly on the cob? How long after spraying is it safe to eat the corn?
    A

    You will use 1.5 fl. oz. of Sevin Concentrate per gallon of water. This can applied up to two days before harvest. Sevin Concentrate should also only be used a maximum of eight times per year, per the product label. There is not a wait time in between spraying the product. Sevin can be sprayed whenever the insects are present.

  • Asked by Mark from Fremont Ca

    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate go bad with age?
    I have an old bottle (about 20 years old) Is it still safe to spray for spiders on the exterior of my house
    A

    Sevin Concenrate has a shelf life of 3-5 years so therefore the bottle you have would not be effective. We would not recommend using Sevin Concentrate for the treatment of spiders as there are better products for spiders. Suspend SC is a great general purpose insecticide for outside perimeter treatments.

  • Asked by Ron from Trenton, Nj
    03/15/2016
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate stain my sidewalk?
    I applied Sevin Concentrate to my bushes and a couple days later my sidewalk was stained an orange color.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is white or beige in color and when mixed according to label instructions should form a clear solution that will also be clear when it dries, so there is really no way that it could have caused an orange stain.  Were there any other products that may have been applied in the area around the same time that the Sevin was applied?  There are many herbicide (weed killer) products that do have an orange color and can cause staining on concrete if not applied carefully.  If you do feel that it was the Sevin which caused the staining, you may want to contact the manufacturer directly.  You can reach GardenTech at 866-945-5033.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill grubs in my lawn?
    We had grubs damage the lawn last fall and need to treat for this summer.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to control grubs.  A better option would be something like Merit Granules or Dominion 2L (if you prefer a liquid) to spray your yard at the end of April/beginning of May to start protecting your yard against grub populations this year.

    Q
    If the instructions are followed on the label, how much of a chance is there that Sevin Concentrate is going to kill the plants and not just the bugs?
    I read some reviews and one of them said that this product killed their garden.
    A

    If Sevin Concentrate is used as directed, the product should not kill your garden. Be sure to check the label for the specific mixing ratios, as well as the harvest times for each edible.

  • Asked by Jamie from San Mateo

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate work on an apricot tree that has borers?
    Tree is producing sap bubbles, clear and parts of the limbs are dying.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate could be used on apricot trees for prevention and early treatment. Per the product label: Do not use on large trees or where pest populations are generally inaccessible to spray deposits, as inadequate performance will result. 

    Unfortunately, once the borers have already infested the tree there are not any viable treatment options as they would be protected from sprays. In cases of infestation the general recommendation is to simply protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use.  There is a great read here by University of CA.
