Sevin Concentrate should not clog up hose end sprayers, if they are cleaned after every use. We have just added a new hose end sprayer the Chapin 6005. This hose end sprayer can spray liquid and dilute water soluble powders without issue.
Sevin is labeled to be applied to tomato plants and will eradicate earwigs. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
Yes, Sevin Concentrate is safe for children when used as directed on the product label. Children should be kept out of the area during application and until everything is fully dry.
Sevin Concentrate is an insect control and will not repel deer, rabbits, snakes or mice away. We do offer Repels-All Liquid Concentrate repellent that you could apply as directed instead.
Sevin Concentrate is not specifically labeled for nematodes and should be applied to areas where you have placed beneficial nematodes.
Sevin Concentrate can be applied to fruit trees, ornamentals, vegetable gardens, shrubs, flowers, outdoor insect perimeter control in residential areas. Mix 1.5 oz - 3.0 oz per gallon of water and applied using a hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. It is not labeled for treating yellow jackets or wasp nests. Nests in ceiling areas are best treated by drilling into the infested void and injecting the nest with Tempo 1% Dust.
1) Locate the nest. If you are not sure exactly where the nest is located, use a listening device to hone in as close as possible to the exact location.
2) Drill small holes directly into the nest from inside of the structure. If it is not possible to drill from the inside, the drilling can be done outside. If you do this, be sure to leave any outside entrance holes open until the beginning of fall when hatching is sure to be completed. Then the entrance may be sealed to prevent further nest establishment.
3) Apply Tempo 1% Dust liberally using a Centrobulb Duster (for easier application)
4) Seal any inside holes.
5) Repeat in 3 to 4 months to control for newly hatched yellow jackets.
The ?Onslaught that comes in the Yellow Jacket kit will kill just about any type of wasp if they make contact with the product. The idea behind this kit is that you mix the Onslaught with a food item and wasps take the food item back to their nest and share it with the other wasps, killing the colony. If you have a type of wasp that does not take bait, then the kit would not be very effective. You can set out a few different food items to see if the wasps are attracted to them. If the wasps are attracted then you can use the kit successfully. If the wasps are not attracted to the food, then you should consider just spraying an insecticide such as Onslaught topically to areas where there has been wasp activity. Here are a few recommended baits: raw chicken pieces, raw fish, canned tuna, cat food, or fruit juice. Raw chicken pieces or tuna tend to work the best.
Sevin Concentrate should not be exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. You will want to store in a cool, dry place for the best shelf life from date of purchase (about 3 years). Once mixed with water, the finished solution should be used within 24 hours of mixing.
You will need to use 1.5 oz of Sevin Concentrate per gallon of water for Japanese beetles on trees per the product label. Spray upper and lower leaf surfaces and small trunks, stems and twigs to the point of runoff where pests appear. Repeat applications as necessary up to a total of four times per year for trees, but not more often than once every seven days.
Sevin Concentrate is an insecticide designed to kill and prevent insects from infesting the vegetation you are treating.

Yes, Sevin Concentrate is labeled for applications on fruit trees. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
Sevin Concentrate is labeled to be used outdoors only. For ants indoors, we would recommend using something like Phantom Aerosol. This can be sprayed around the baseboards, cracks and crevices, void treatment where pests harbor, nest, trail, run, and/or breed or hide. Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes.
Roundup products are non selective herbicides that kill everything they are applied to so we cannot see any valid reason to mix it with Sevin Concentrate unless you want to kill the plant/grass area you are trying to control the listed insects on. That being said, as long as both product labels are followed you could do so but we would recommend doing a compatibility test.
Sevin Concentrate can be applied either in the morning or in the evening. You just do not want to apply during the heat of the day as this can cause the foliage to burn. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
Sevin Concentrate should not be applied near water has it highly toxic to aquatic organisms. We do offer a product called EcoVia EC that would be great to apply to non-edible areas.
