Ants: Mound Treatment, including Fire Ants:
Treat ant mounds by applying 1/2 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. Food utensils such as teaspoons and measuring cups should not be used for food purposes after use with insecticide. For optimum control or for heavily infested areas, combine both mound and broadcast treatments.
Armyworms, Cutworms, and Sod Webworms:
Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.1 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide.
Annual Bluegrass Weevil (Hyperodes ) adults:
Time application for when adult weevils leave their overwintering sites and move into grass areas.
Billbug adults:
Apply when adult billbugs are first observed during April and May.
Black Turfgrass Ataenius adults:
Apply during May and July to control the first and second generation of black turfgrass ataenius adults.
Chinch Bugs:
Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide. Higher applications rates may be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. In temperate regions, Spring applications will provide control of over-wintered chinch bugs.
Flea larvae:
Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide.
Mole Crickets:
Apply as late in the day as possible to moist soil (irrigate before application if necessary), and water in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. Treat grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets in the spring immediately prior to peak egg hatch when young nymphs are located near the soil surface. Use higher and more frequent applications to control larger, more damaging, nymphs later in the year.
Scorpions:
Treat at dusk to prevent outdoor scorpions from entering the building. Treat areas where scorpions reside hidden during the day such as in cracks and voids. Remove trash, debris, or firewood that scorpions may use as resting sites prior to treatment.
*Ticks (Including ticks that transmit Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever):
Target applications to kill juvenile ticks (larvae and nymphs) in late spring or early summer (May/June). Adult ticks can be killed with late summer and fall applications (August/September). Make applications to lawns, shrub beds, ornamental plantings, wooded areas and around outside perimeters of home and other buildings. Treat entire lawn and perimeter wooded areas and property boundaries where exposure to ticks may occur. Irrigate treated areas thoroughly after application to remove chemical from the granules and move down into thatch. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas or host animals. For extended control, do not rely on spot applications only. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use higher application rates when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Re-treat if ticks are reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Do not allow use of treated areas during application.
Deer Ticks (Ixodes sp.)
Apply in mid to late-spring to control larvae and nymphs that reside in the soil and leaf litter.
American Dog Ticks
Applications should be made as necessary from mid-spring to early fall to control American dog ticks.
Grubs:
Water-in granules immediately after treatment with 1/2 inch of water. Treat BEFORE damage is seen if previous infestation is known to have been an issue in the area. Lawns should be treated for grubs in late summer and early fall. Inspections can be performed by digging up small sections of sod and examining the soil. If 10 or more grubs are present in a square foot of sod, it is important to treat the lawn.
Scarab Beetles:
Apply granules in the summer when beetles are seen. Water granules in immediately after application to ensure they fall through any thatch to the soil.
Wonderful Product
By Matt on 09/23/2013
I recently started over on my lawn and planted new grass seed on September 14, 2013. While preparing the soil I noticed I had a major grub infestation. As I am a first time homeowner I am fairly new to maintaining a new lawn. Upon further research it appeared that it was to late in the season to apply most insecticides. However, I came across this product. I purchased a 10 lb bag that day and spread that over my lawn that same night. After applying, I gave the yard a good watering. I went out several hours later to see if anything had occurred....low and behold the grubs were coming out of the ground and began dieing off that night. Great product, will definitely use again...as needed. Thanks!!

Sevin Insecticide Granules is not specifically labeled to control cicadas, it may kill those that contact a treated area but would be very limited results.
There are not any products specifically labeled for them as they do not live long enough to be considered an economic pest. The females cause more damage than the males but the adults only emerge to mate and die. The next generation hatches 6-10 weeks after death. The females lay their eggs under bark. Larger trees can survive the some damage. They don't survive long enough for the products to be effective.Was this answer helpful to you? YesNo

I would like to know when i first should appy sevin to my lawn.
It is always best to apply the insecticides, like Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules, 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.
Per the product label, children and pets should remain off the treated area until the application of Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules has completely dried.
I need to put them down in my backyard for fleas and my chickens get into my yard. I can keep them locked up for a while.
Sevin Insecticide Granules are safe for chickens if used as directed. Chickens (and other animals) should be kept out of the area while the product is being applied and watered in. They can return as soon as everything is dry. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
If the ground never dries because of rain, will it be safe for my senior dogs to return to the yard?
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.

Yes, Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules can be used in a raised vegetable garden.
Please read the product label for complete application instructions.
Depending on which type of veggies you are treating will effect the harvest time. Please call the manufacturer to verify the proper use of Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules on your veggies. You can reach Garden Tech by calling 866-945-5033.
Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules are not labeled to control waterlily leaf bugs. You may consider the liquid concentrate, Sevin Insecticide Concentrate that is however labeled for lily leaf bugs and a wide variety of other insects.
View the Sevin Insecticide Concentrate product label for more information.
Can I use a drop spreader to apply?
Yes. You can absolutely put the granules down within 24 hours of rain to water them in, however, if a heavy rain is expected, it would be recommended to wait until after the heavy rain to make your application to your lawn. Sevin Insecticide Granules need to be watered in soon after the application to activate the granules, but a heavy rain would be too much water.

Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules can be applied in a few different ways such as a broadcast application to lawns, as a periemeter band application (5-10 ft wide), as a spot treatment or area treatment for pest infestations on or around ornamental trees, shrubs, flowers and ground covers as well as in fruit and vegetable gardens.
Please refer to the product label for application rates depending on the insects your targeting and application site.
Since the Sevin Insecticide Granules do not have any herbicidal properties, you could apply grass seed any time after applying the insecticide granules. We would just recommend that if you are going to aerate or do other soil modification, you probably will want to do that before applying your insecticide or wait until several days after so that you do not disturb the application.
