If stored in a cool dry area, Sevin Insecticide Granules will last 2-3 years. It does sound like you may need to order a new batch.
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.
Sevin Granules are safe for animals if used as directed on the product label. Animals need to be kept out of the area while the granules are being applied and watered in, but can safely return once everything is completely dry.
Yes, Sevin Insectcide Granules is labeled to treat for grasshoppers along with many other common insects found in the lawns.
Watering the Sevin granules in is what activates the granules. If it is going to rain close to the time you are applying the granules that will be fine too. Failure to water in the granules can lead to treatment failure because the chemical cannot be released from the granule and will not be available to the pests.
Yes. You can absolutely put the granules down today if rain is in the forecast for tomorrow. Let mother nature water the granules in for you!
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.
Sevin Granules can be applied 4 times per year as needed for the target pest. For instance you may only need to use it in the Spring/Summer and may apply 4 times during that period vs applying every 3 months.
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.
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. The small amount of active it takes to harm an insect is not enough to harm a chicken
Yes, you can apply Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules the same day as a lawn fertilizer. As long as the watering-in rates of each product is the same it's fine. We recommend applying each product separately, the order does not matter.
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 should be broadcast on the lawn using a spreader and then watered in to activate them, per the product label. The granules would likely clog any type of sprayer. We do carry Sevin Concentrate that can be mixed with water and applied Fruit trees, ornamentals, vegetable gardens, shrubs, flowers, outdoor insect perimeter control in residential areas. You will want to use the Sevin Granules for the lawn.
Be sure to wait at least 2 days after Sevin Insecticide Granules to mow the lawn. It would be best to go ahead and mow the lawn a couple days prior to application.

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
Sevin Insecticide Granules can be used in your soil before you plant. Be sure to water the product in to activate it. If you also plan on doing a treatment after the plants have come up, please check the label with regards to harvest times.
