    Q
    Will Sevin Dust 5% kill spider mites?
    A
    The Sevin Dust 5% is not labeled for spider mites.  If you are not applying to anything edible, Talstar P works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. Talstar P provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid- to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar.

    Q
    Will Sevin Dust 5% kill whipworms in the soil?
    My dogs have whipworms and some of the information I have found on the internet suggest using Sevin Dust to get rid of them in the yard as they are extremely tough to eradicate.
    A

    Sevin Dust  does not specifically label whipworms for eradication. Unfortunately, there are no products on the market to kill or control whipworm eggs in the soil. Here are a few options for you: 1. Remove the first  4"-6" of soil from the entire area the dog uses and replace with new soil and reseed with grass. 2. Keep the dog on Interceptor Heartworm preventative which also keeps whipworm eggs from developing into parasites in the dog. 3. Keep the dog away from the infested area for at least 5 years and always pick up feces every couple of days from the new area to stop the new area from becoming infested.

  • Asked by Melissa
    12/19/2018
    Q
    Can Sevin Dust be used for scabies in the home?
    A

    Sevin Dust is for outdoor use only and is not labeled for scabies.  Scabies mites only live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-Fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home is usually not necessary.
