    Q
    When do I reapply Sevin Dust after the first application?
    I have applied Sevin Dust to a crape myrtle tree for aphids, and wonder how long I need to wait before retreating (how many days in between)?
    A

    Sevin Dust 5% is not labeled to treat aphids therefore we would not be able to advise on a retreatment application time. You may contact the manufacturer Garden Tech directly for more information t 1-866-945-5033.

    A systemic insecticide like Dominion 2L would be recommended to apply as a soil drench and spray the trunks and foliage with Talstar for Aphid control.

    Q
    Can I harvest plants that are near a Sevin Dust treatment site?
    I put Sevin Dust on my zucchini plant about a week ago. Yesterday I noticed that nearby plants also had some bug issues as well so I treated the nearby plants with Sevin Dust as well. I have two zucchini that will be ready to harvest tomorrow. Is it safe for me to harvest them before 3 days is up since they did not get the Sevin dust treatment, or should I wait another day just to be safe?
    A

    If the nearby zucchini plants were not contacted with Sevin Dust at all, the zucchini can be harvested at any time.
