  • Asked by Morrye from Red Oak, Nc
    02/26/2017
    Q
    How long does Sevin Granules remain in the soil?
    We are getting a new puppy in two weeks. Is it safe to use immediately?
    A

    Sevin 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). After spreading the granules across your lawn they would need to be watered in to activate the ingredients. Once they have been watered in and the water dries, your pup will be safe to play/chew to its hearts content. Normally a safe time frame to wait after watering is 1-2 hours.
