Read Full Answer »The Sevin Insecticide Granules label calls for 3 to 7 pounds per 1000 square feet. If your spreader settings go from 1 to 10 (1 letting out the least and 10 letting out the most) you typically want to be around a 3 setting. If your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 6 or 7 setting. The goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feet. One person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slower. Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet. So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting. You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the extinguish in the spreader. Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace. You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet. -

Read Full Answer »Sevin Concentrate is labeled for chiggers. It will only kill the ones that are present during the application. In order to gain control, they must be contacted with the Sevin to have any effectiveness. We do carry Onslaught Insecticide that offers a residual after it is applied and dried for 30 days. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. Both Sevin and Onslaught are safe when dried. Keep the children and pets out of the area during the application until the surfaces are completely dry and then they can return. -

Read Full Answer »Sevin Insecticide Granules will work to eliminate ants that come into contact with treated areas. Most of the time when folks indicate they have tried several products for ant control with no success the problem usually can be traced back to the types of products they have been trying. We recommend that you select a product that can be transferred back to the colony instead of a product that is effective only on the ants that touch treated surfaces. Ant baits are always a good choice. We recommend you offer both a granular bait and a liquid bait to suit the feeding needs of different species of ants. You can apply the baits in Ant No More Bait Stations so that the bait will stay fresh for a long time. The ants will enter the bait station and pick up the bait that suits them and carry it back to the colony and share it with the other ants. Baiting will wipe out the entire colony rather than just the foragers that are usually killed by topical applications of insecticide. -

Asked by Pat from Garner Nc04/08/2015QI applied Sevin Granules and now have grubs all over my lawn surface
I applied Sevin Granules two days ago. My lawn is now covered with grubs that are still living. Is the Sevin working/ Are the grubs dying or just surfacing to escape the Sevin?AIt does take time for the grubs to die because they need to ingest Sevin Insecticide Granules or come in contact with it. Depending on how healthy the pest is, how mature it is in its life cycle (the more mature the harder to kill) and how much time it spends on the surface thats been treated will…

Asked by Pedro from Hollywood, Florida03/20/2015QHow long does it take for Sevin Granuels to dissolve?
I used a spreader to cover my back yard with a bag of Sevin Granuels(for fleas, ticks, etc) 3 days ago and saturated it with water very well. I still see the granuels and I thought they would break about or dissolve in water at least. I'm little concern since my puppy loves to explore my yard and my yard is dry from the florida sun. Do I need to spray more water or let it be and is my pet safe. Going on day 4.ASevin Insecticide Granules should dissolve with good amounts of water. Even a good rain should help. You may want to try watering it again.
