  • Asked by Howard from Jasper,alabama
    06/11/2013
    Q
    How often should I dust my veg garden with Sevin Dust?
    Also, should I stop dusting once the plants bloom?
    A
    The rate at which you apply and how often will depend on what pest you are treating for and in what area or crop. The label suggests after flowers bloom you may not want to dust them as the sevin dust could kill the beneficial insects that would be coming around to pollinate. You can either refer to the Sevin Dust Product Label on our site, or give us more information to get the exact answer you are looking for. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Deanna from Keithville, La
    06/07/2018
    Q
    Will a heavy coat of Sevin Dust hurt my garden plants?
    We dusted 2 days ago & the duster put out a rather heavy coating. We have squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes & canteloupe. We want to kill the cucumber beetles, but don't want to harm the plants.
    A

    Per the product label for Sevin Dust, you should apply a thin, even film of dust to plant surfaces. Do not reapply more than once a week. If there is still a heavy dust application after several days, then you may rinse the plants to remove excess dust to prevent phytoxicity or other sensitivity. Be sure to follow the label for pre-harvest intervals and maximum number of applications per year.

    Q
    Can Sevin Dust 5% be used to kill bees and prevent them from entering the area where their hive is?
    entering an outdoor outlet on our deck.
    A
    Sevin is not labeled for bees. We would recommend using Delta dust or Tempo dust for eliminating bees that have been entering the outlet. Dusts do not offer an immediate knockdown but instead kill over a couple of days. Dusts will keep killing for several months after they have been applied to covered areas.

  • Asked by Mark from Milwaukee, Wi
    07/02/2014
    Q
    Will Sevin kill carpenter ants?
    A
    No, Sevin Dust 5% is not labeled for carpenter ants. We would recommend the Carpenter Ant Kit # 2 if you are treating for carpenter ants. It comes with three different products that will take care of the ants. The Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel will be applied in spots in cracks and crevices. The Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is a granular that can be broadcast across your lawn. It also comes with a perimeter spray called Dominion 2L Termiticide. This product is mixed with water and sprayed along the perimeter of your home but should not be broadcast across your lawn. Also, Dominion 2L is only labeled to be used every six months. All three of these items will provide an eradication of the carpenter ants.

    If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

  • Asked by Dallas
    08/01/2018
    Q
    How long does it take for Sevin dust to kill fleas?
    A

    Sevin Dust 5% is not labeled for fleas only flea beetles and would not be recommended to use.

    For treating fleas inside and outside the home, we recommend our Indoor/Outdoor Flea Kit along with topical flea treatment such as Martins Prefurred Plus for dogs.

    Both Onslaught and Martins IGR will have instructions on the bottle that you need to read before use. Always read the product labels.
    Outdoor Use:
    Onslaught Insecticide: Mix 0.5 to 1.0 fluid ounce of Onslaught in sufficient water to cover 1,000 square feet of lawn. Spray the entire lawn with a coarse, wet spray. Repeat this application in two weeks.

    Martins IGR:  Once you've mixed up the Onslaught according to the instructions mentioned above, simply add the desired amount of Martins IGR to the mix and spray both the Onslaught and Martins IGR at the same time. We recommend about 1 oz of Martins per every 5 gallons of Onslaught solution that you mix up.

    Indoor Use:

    Onslaught Insecticide: Mix 0.5 oz of Onslaught with 1 gallon of water (+ 1 oz of Martins IGR if needed, please see below) to treat a 1,000 sq ft area. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray to infested rugs, carpets, and pet resting areas.

    Martins IGR: Add 1 oz of Martins IGR to the diluted solution of Onslaught for the initial treatment.

    Prior to treatment, carpets, draperies and upholstered furniture should be vacuumed thoroughly and the vacuum cleaner bag disposed of in an outdoor trash receptacle. Remove pets from area to be treated. After treatment, do not allow children and pets into treated areas until spray has dried. You should vacuum once daily every day for the next 14 days to help speed up the flea elimination process. A second application of Onslaught may be needed after 14 days.
