    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.

  • Asked by Perry from Lakeland Fl
    01/11/2014
    Q
    Can you spray Sevin for fleas inside
    A
    Sevin is only labeled for outdoor use so would not be used inside.

    We recommend using the Indoor Flea Kit. The Indoor Flea Kit with Alpine Aerosol and CimeXa dust treats over 2000 sq. ft. of space and is an excellent combination for long-lasting flea control. The kit contains two cans of Alpine Aerosol which is one of the safest professional grade flea sprays for use indoors and was recently classified as a reduced risk product by the EPA. It provides excellent control of fleas and contains an IGR as well, which prevents adult fleas from being able to lay eggs, eventually halting the flea reproductive cycle.  You'll also get two bottles of CimeXa Dust which is a safe, odorless, non-staining dust that is perfect for spreading on carpets, floor coverings, in cabinets, under furniture cushions, and other areas where fleas tend to harbor.  As fleas come into contact with CimeXa, the dust literally dries the fleas out causing eventual death.  These two products together create a powerful double punch providing excellent, safe and lasting indoor flea control.

  • Asked by Ethan from Denver, Nc
    06/06/2013
    Q
    Sevin granular and Sevin concentrate have the same active; why can't I spray my yard with the concentrate?
    A
    Even though Sevin Insecticide Granules and Sevin Concentrate have the same active ingredients, they do have different formulations. Because they have different formulations, they have separate Product Labels that have separate use instructions. For more detailed information as to why the Sevin Insecticide Granules can be used on lawns, where the Sevin Concentrate is limited to vegetables, fruit, and ornamentals please contact the manufacture, GardenTech at 866-945-5033.

  • Asked by Elaine from Chagrin Falls, Oh
    07/04/2018
    Q
    Can Sevin Concentrate be used for Japanese beetles on basil?
    Basil is not listed on the PHI literature. I sprayed the Sevin ready to use this morning. Temps are in low 90's. Just had a very severe downpour. How soon should I spray again. And how long to wait before eating the 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.

  • Asked by Lillian from Kamuela, Hawaii
    08/09/2013
    Q
    Is Sevin effective in controlling / killing mosquitoes?
    A
    We do not recommend Sevin for mosquito control as it does not last very long. Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a sprayer.  You will need about 1 oz of product for every 1,000 sq ft of space you need to treat. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  Talstar should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.

  • Asked by Danny from Cedartown, Ga
    06/15/2014
    Q
    What setting on a hose-end sprayer do you use to spray Sevin Concentrate?
    what setting do you use to spray Sevin Concentrate with a hose end sprayer such as Ortho Dial n Spray. The label says you can apply with this method, but it does not reference a setting.
    A
    Because every hose-end sprayer is different, we cannot say specifically what setting you will need to use. The water is just acting as a carrier for the concentrate, so you should start with a low setting and see how much water you use to cover a small area and then adjust your settings accordingly. There is more detail in the chart of page 5 of the product label.
