    Q
    Will squirrels eat sweet corn sprayed with Sevin?
    A
    Since squirrels are attracted to sweet corn, they could potentially ingest Sevin Concentrate. Please keep in mind that after Sevin is diluted there is only a large enough amount active ingredient to kill small insects. The squirrel would have to ingest a lot of corn treated with sevin for it to harm them.

    Q
    Will Sevin Kill Yellowheaded Spruce Sawflies on my Norway Spruce Trees without damaging the trees?
    A

    Yes, you can use Sevin Concentrate as a topical spray on spruce or other ornamentals for sawfly treatment. According to the product label, you should apply 1.5 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water and 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 and six times per year for ornamental shrubs and flowers, but not more than once every seven days.

    We would also recommend using a systemic insecticide in the late Spring or early Summer for these pests, such as Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench.

    Q
    Can Sevin Concentrate be used for Japanese beetles on basil?

    A

    Unfortunately Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to be used on basil.  Any basil sprayed with it should be discarded and not eaten.  Ferti-lome Triple Action would be a better option, applied in early morning before temperatures get too hot.

    Q
    Why is Sevin prohibited for lawn use?

    Even though Sevin Insecticide Granules and Sevin Concentrate have the same active ingredients, they have different formulations. Because they have different formulations, they have separate Product Labels that have separate use instructions.

  • Asked by Ramona from Beulah , North Dakota
    06/29/2015
    Q
    Can Sevin Concentrate be used on evergreen trees, ash trees, plum trees, and Japanese lilacs
    I had the trees sprayed by a lawn service and he used Sevin that hooks up to a water hose. My trees have leaves curling up and one tree they are turning brown and leaves are falling off. Is there anything I can do to help my trees or are they ok?
    A
    While we cannot comment on the services done by professional companies we can say that Sevin Concentrate is labeled to treat for insects on ornamental trees and on plum trees. It is possible a disease could be effecting the trees and causing the damage unless insects where identified as the cause.  WIthout knowing exactly what is causing the issues we cannot make recommendations on what you can do to help the trees.  The trees should be fine with an application of Sevin if used as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Will seven concentrate kill mosquitoes and larvae in my lawn? If yes, how many oz per gal of water?
    A
    Sevin Concentrate can be used around the perimeter of your home only. It is not labeled to be used in your lawn.

    We would recommend using Talstar P in your lawn for mosquitoes in your lawn. This can be broadcast across your lawn, sprayed on brushes, trees, flowers, etc. It cannot be sprayed on any type of edibles.

  • Asked by Ken from Washington
    06/12/2014
    Q
    Will Sevin kill black vine weevil?
    A
    Sevin is labeled for weevils but does not exactly list black vine weevil. Talstar is labeled for treatment of weevils and many of our customers have cited success with Talstar for weevils.  The product label calls for half an ounce per gallon of water, and this should be applied over 1000 square feet.  There are not really any special instructions other then to cover all foliage completely including the base and trunks of the non-edible plants.
