    What mix do I use for Japanese beetles on birch trees?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate it hurt the bees?
    the bees are busy pollenating. the fly control predators are also busy will this hurt them? I have sprayed squashes, pumpkins and cucumbers once, but not sure if all the bugs are gone.
    A
    According to the Sevin Concentrate product label "This product is highly toxic to honeybees and other bees. Do not apply to plants in bloom." Almost all insecticides are toxic to bees as they are non-selective. You can help limit any effect to bees by being careful not to apply the insecticides when bees are actively foraging in the area.

  • 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 Theresa from Proctorville, Oh
    12/17/2011
    Q
    Can I use Sevin on my couch and carpet?
    I was told that I could use Sevin-5 in home on couch, carpet, and that it would kill everything. Me or my pet, was told just to wait no longer than 2 days before sweeping up, also told that people were using it on pets instead of Frontline or other. Is this true?
    A
    Sevin (at least the Sevin product that we carry) is not labeled for use on couches or carpets, and it is not labeled for use on pets.  So we cannot comment on the validity of those statements. We can only make recommendations based on the instructions on the product.

  • Asked by Kimberly from Centerport
    07/22/2014
    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
    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.

    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 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.
