Q

If dogs consume grubs from a lawn treated with Sevin Insecticide Granules (once they surface), is there a potential for harm to the dogs?

A

No, Sevin Insecticide Granules have a very short half life so this should not harm your pet. Once the grubs consume the product, it is broken down very quickly within the pest so if a dog consumed them, they would not have much of the active ingredient in them still. Be sure to keep your pet out of …

Be sure to keep your pet out of the area until after the granules have been watered in and the area has dried.

Q

Does Sevin Insecticide Granules have to be watered in to be effective?
2 big a yard 2 water after applying the Sevin Insecticide Granules. I have just under 2 acres. Don't can't really water that with a hose. As long as not a heavy downpour, can I just watch the forecast and apply at rainfall and receive same results?

Q

Does Sevin kill grubs, or do you have a special product to kill them?
I applied GRUB Ex last week. Today I found 2 live grubs. What kills grubs?

It is typically a little late in the season to start treating for grubs. Sevin is not recommended for grubs often because it does not penetrate the soil – Sevin is really just a contact kill for surface feeding grubs. Grub Ex has been updated to a newer, long-lasting systemic active ingredient …

It is typically a little late in the season to start treating for grubs. Sevin is not recommended for grubs often because it does not penetrate the soil – Sevin is really just a contact kill for surface feeding grubs. Grub Ex has been updated to a newer, long-lasting systemic active ingredient recently, however the older product may have had a contact kill only. One option to use around edible plants is treating with Milky Spore. You should apply Milky Spore grub control granules with a push spreader or a hand spreader in the Spring, Summer, and Fall for 2 years to create the long term residual. Once established, Milky Spore lasts 10+ years. If you are treating in turfgrass and around ornamental plants, we recommend using a systemic product in Spring before egg hatch, such as Merit Granules. We have more great tips in our White Grub Treatment Guide here.

Q

Will Sevin Insecticide Granules affect my pet?
My cat rolled around the grass after spreading Sevin granules that had not been yet watered. Will this affect my pet? I watered the lawn in the evening a day after spreading. Will Sevin still work?

A

Sevin Granules are not activated until they have been watered in so your pet going into the lawn while they were dry should be fine. If your pet seems to be acting out of character or sick, we would recommend taking your pet to vet. Yes, the product will still work if you waited to water them in.

Q

When is the best time to apply Sevin Insecticide Granules?
live in utica michigan..spring is in the air..

A

It is always best to apply the insecticides just prior to lots of insect activity. This will help keep the insect populations from building to intolerable levels. If it is warming up in your area and the insects are starting to get active you should go ahead and apply now.

Q

Will all the Sevin lawn treatments kill sod webworms?
We used a liquid version that specifically mentioned sod web worms and they were gone for about two weeks. When they came back we could only find the granules and two days later the moths are still very active. It says treats over 100 pests but husband has already tossed the details. Should this work?

A

Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to treat for sod webworms. Sevin Lawn Insect Granules are labeled for them and should do a good job when used as directed on the product label.

Q

Can we use Sevin granules for ticks in a dog pen? If so, how long before they can go back in the pen?
It has been raining for 2 weeks and is hot and humid. There are a lot of ticks this year. I have used the spray around the house but never inside the dog pen.

A

Yes, Sevin Granules can be used inside the dog pen. The pets need to be removed from the area during the application. The application rate is 7-9 lbs. per 1000 square feet. This does need to be watered in. Once the ground has dried, your dogs can go back into the area.

Sevin Insecticide Granules is not labeled to treat for bees. If you know where the nest is you can use a dust such as Tempo dust puffed into the nest or holes using a hand duster and around the opening of the nest. This type of application usually will kill the nest of wasps over the course of a few days. Ground bees, also known as digger bees, can be very difficult to control no matter what product you use and they most likely will come back to your property year after year unless you do your part to alter your property to make it unfavorable to the bees. Ground bees prefer dry soils with thin grasses so irrigating the area frequently and correcting any issue that causes your grass to be thin will help deter the bees from nesting. In areas where you do not have grass, a layer of mulch will help deter the bees from nesting. Ground bees are solitary bees and are not very aggressive and are known to be a beneficial insect which is why you will not find any products specifically labeled for this type of bee. Talstar P an help provide some level of control but it will not get rid of all of the ground bees on your property. You should use Talstar P at a 1 oz of product to 1 gallon of water for a 1,000 sq ft area ratio. This will give you the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. Talstar P does not offer an instant knockdown but will kill insects that come into contact with treated areas over a short period of time
