Q

Will Sevin Insecticide Granules be okay if watered several days later?
I just applied the granules to the grassy area where I take my dog outside at my apartment. I didn't realize that it needs to be watered down afterwards, and there are no watering hoses at the apartment, however, it's supposed to rain in a few days. Will the rain in a few days work, or will I need to reapply by then? Also, will it be safe to take my dog outside in the meantime?

Sevin Insecticide Granules need to be watered in immediately after application to activate the granules. While it might be ok for rain a few days later, to get the most effectiveness we would recommend applying right before it rains. Pets should be kept out of treated areas after watering in un…

Sevin Insecticide Granules need to be watered in immediately after application to activate the granules. While it might be ok for rain a few days later, to get the most effectiveness we would recommend applying right before it rains. Pets should be kept out of treated areas after watering in until dry. If there are any dry granules on the ground for the dog to pick up, it would be recommend to keep your dog out of that area until the rain.

Sevin Insecticide Granules are not labeled to kill earthworms but do work for white grubs, which are another food source of moles. There are no products on the market in the USA that are labeled for earthworms as they are largely beneficial creatures. There are a few known control methods that include cutting back on irrigation so that the worms will go deeper into the soil for the moisture they require to survive or fertilizing your lawn after a heavy rainfall which will eliminate some of the population.

Per the Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules: Treat ant mounds by applying ½ cup of this product per mound. Water with sufficient force to break its apex and allow the insecticide to flow into the ant tunnels, but not sufficient to significantly damage the mound that may lead to relocation. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 to 80?F) or in early morning or late evening hours. Treat new mounds as they appear. This product will provide control of ant mounds within four hours Treatment should be done as long as you are seeing new activity and may require both mound treatments and broadcasting the product in the yard.

If you have product left, your setting is too low. If you run out of product, your setting is too high
