    Q
    Does Sevin Insecticide Granules kill flea larvae and flea pupae?
    We applied the granules last week and still whenever our dogs go outside they come back in with fleas on them! We followed the application directions per the label.
    A

    Sevin Insecticide Granules is labeled for flea control but only states that it will kill fleas (not larvae) target pests that are out at the time of application. Pests must be directly contacted to be effected using Sevin Insecticide Granules. Using a good insecticide contcentrate along with an insect growth regulator to help break the reproduction cycle and consistent follow up treatments every 14 days is the best treatment plan for flea control. You may visit the links below for complete flea control program. The most successful treatment would be to use one of our Flea Control Kits in addition to treating pets and inside the home.

  • Asked by Brian from Bergheim, Tx
    05/29/2017
    Q
    Is it safe to allow my animals (horses & chickens) to graze on grass and forage treated with Sevin Granules?
    I know to water in and let dry, but should I wait longer before allowing my animals to graze on treated areas? Or, is it safe at all for them? The chickens especially will be eating both grass/forage and bugs. Should I only treat areas that they will not be grazing on?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, Sevin Granules are meant for use on residential lawns and not pasture areas. However, since the product is not a systemic, it will not affect your grass. As long as the area is dry, it is safe for animals to be in the area. However, we cannot recommend that animals graze in areas where Sevin Granules were applied.

    Q
    What is the application rate for Sevin Insecticide Granules using a Scotts Easy Hand Held spreader?

This is an insecticide only and should not harm new sod when applied according to the label instructions.

    Q
    Can Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules go down the drain in the rain or if it rained the day before you are going to put it down?
    A

    Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules should be applied to a dry lawn and watered in immediately to activate and evenly dissolve the granules into the lawn before a heavy rain. If heavy rain is expected then we would suggest waiting until after to do the application to prevent any run off into the drain system.

  • Asked by Amanda from Pelham, Alabama
    05/21/2019
    Q
    Can I still use Sevin Insecticide Granules if my lawn has a chigger problem but I also need to aerate and overseed?
    We're in the southeast, so it's time to aerate and overseed especially since weeds and bare spots are trying to take over, but I have to do something about these chiggers and other insects because my family is getting feasting on when we try to go outside! Everything I'm reading is saying insecticides will damage grass seeds germination process, so what do I do first and how long should I wait before doing the other?
    A

    You should not be concerned about insecticides interfering with grass seed. The main concern would be when you plan to disturb the soil. For example, we would not recommend that you spray a residual insecticide and then immediately aerate or till the area you just sprayed. Onslaught Insecticide is a great choice for chiggers and many other common insects. If you are going to till in the next couple days, then you can go ahead and do all that soil work and then spray your insecticide once you are done with the landscaping. If you are using a granule insecticide such as Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules, then that product must be watered in after application, so you would still need to do any soil movement or plant first, then apply and water in the granules.

  • Asked by Sarah from Saint Albans

    Q
    Will sevin gradually kill earnings. I have thousands and thousands of them under everything I pick up outside
    The earwigs hide undereverything. I have nevercseen so many in all my life. I hope the seven granuals will work to kill them
    A
    You can use Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules to treat for earwigs. Keep in mind that earwigs thrive in areas that have a lot of moisture, so if you have heavy items outdoors that trap moisture in the soil or create pockets of moist soil, then you want to keep those items up off the ground and look for other ways to improve drainage in those areas. We have more information about this pest on our Earwig Control Page here.

    Q
    Can I apply Sevin insecticide for nigh tcrawlers near a drinking water well? Or are there any safer products?
    A
    There are not any products that are labeled to control earth worms or night crawlers and we are not sure if Sevin will work for this use. You will need to keep Sevin at least 20 feet away from the water source.

  • Asked by Elizabeth from Bay St. Louis

    Q
    Sevin Granules got in my Swimming Pool
    I am concerned that a small amount of Sevin Granules may have gotten in my pool. I had ants in the spaces between the concrete sections of the pool deck where the wood has deteriorated & put Sevin in the spaces. I thought the granules couldnt get into the pool because the deck slopes away from the water & I carefully hosed the Sevin away from the pool today, but noticed that the spaces butted against the pool coping and some probably got in the pool when I hosed the granules away. I would like to know about the toxicity of Sevin in a 22,000 gallon pool. The 'half-life of Sevin? And when would it be save to use the pool or if I need to drain it. Thank you very much for your reply.

    In this situation, we would recommend that you contact GardenTech at 866-945-5033

    Q
    How Long after application to check results
    I used the seven Granuales on lawn and in the garden and watered it in. When should i expect results or lift patches of grass to be sure it was effective?
    A
    It will take time to eliminate whatever pest are in your lawn areas that you treated. You did not specify exactly what pest you are trying to eliminate so it would be hard to give you a rough time frame on it without knowing that information. On average most pest can be eliminated with a few months and 2 applications.

  • Asked by Jessica from Medford
    01/13/2015
    Q
    We applied the Sevin granules to our yard and ever since then the yard has been pretty wet from the weather.
    I need to know when my dog can go in the yard? It has not fully dried because of the weather and its been 4 days.
    A
    If the Sevin granules have been washed away it should be safe for the pets to re-enter the area but try to keep them off the lawn as long as possible til it at least dries some. Keep an eye out for puddles that the dogs could potentially drink from in the yard and keep them away from those until gone. If you have any other worries, contact the manufacturer as they will better be able to tell you the side effects if any that the pets would incur. GardenTech:1-866-945-5033
