What is Sevin Dust?

Sevin insecticide dust (made by Garden Tech) is a popular name-brand pesticide containing carbaryl, a pest control product that has been used by gardners for years to control insects in gardens, ornamentals and on crops and edible vegetables. Sevin dust is considered a broad-spectrum insecticide, meaning that it will kill the majority of insects that come into contact with it. This includes insects that infest vegetable plants as well as some pollinating and flying insects.

Sevin dust bug killer is available in a dust form as well as a liquid concentrate. Most gardners prefer Sevin Dust as it is easier to apply in the dust form and comes in a covenient 1 lb. shaker container.  Be careful when applying Sevin on flowering plants or flowers that attract pollinating insects as Sevin will kill those beneficial insects if they should come in contact with the chemical. Sevin has low toxicity to mammals when used as directed.

    Fire Ants!

    By Anita on 06/05/2016

    Verified Purchase

    I work with wolves, and we receintly moved the entire pack to a new facility. It was over run with Fire ants and biting our poor wolves feet and bodys. I put the powder on the opening of the ant hill, and no more ants! The other products just made them move their hole about a foot away, but I'm not seeing any new holes.

Q
Is Sevin still active once it is mixed with water?

I have a severe case of bedbugs and was told to spray all infected areas with sevin mixed with water since my infestation is so severe. Will it work?

A
Sevin is not labeled for use on bedbugs or for use indoors and you should not use the product for off label uses. You should use products that are specifically labeled for bedbugs to eliminate the infestation. Please consider purchasing one of our bedbug kits as they come with the products that you will require to eliminate bedbugs. You should use bedbug proof mattress and boxspring encasements on your bed.

Q
Can Sevin Dust 5% be mixed with water to spray the vines and leaves of squash?

I have a bag of dust and an empty bottle that used to have Sevin spray in it. I don't feel comfortable "sprinkling dust"... "How much is just right ?" from this bag.

A

No, Sevin Dust 5% should not be mixed with water. The rate of use for squash is .5 lbs per 1000 sq. ft.

If you are not comfortable using dust, we would recommend Sevin Concentrate. This can be mixed with water and sprayed directly onto the plants.

Q
I put alot of the 5% sevin dust under my deck. Now I'm worrying about breathing in the dust when the wind blow

Now I want it gone, can I just spray it with water to get rid of it? Do you think the wind is stirring it up.

A

Dust such as Sevin Dust can move with the wind if it is applied very heavily or to very dry areas. We do not think there would be concern about being on the deck above where the product has been used. If you wet the area with a hose or watering can, then the dust will break down more quickly and be absorbed into the ground.

Q
Should I water plants before I put Sevin Dust on them?
A

You will need to water the plants first and allow to dry to where it is slightly damp on the ground prior to applying Sevin Dust. You will need to wait 4-5 days prior to watering again. Sevin Dust should be applied no more than once a week.
