    Q
    How do I know when all the chemical has been used?
    Product has worked great killing catipillars on my willow, but the plastic bottle fills with water, so I do not know if there is enough chemical left for another application. Any advice?

    Q
    Will Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer kill and prevent roaches?

    Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer states on the product label it can be used for roaches around homes: Thoroughly wet the outside perimeter of the home where pests tend to congregate. Use on lawns is prohibited. Will kill target pests that are present only at the time of application. Pest must be directly contacted for product to be effective.

    Q
    This product dies after about a minute of spraying. I have tested the batteries and they are 1.5 volts each. How do the batteries go in the unit? All 4 batteries positive side up and negative towards the springs?
    A

    The Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer does not use batteries to operate. This is a hose end sprayer that attaches to a garden hose and when turned to the “ON” position uses the water pressure from the hose to spray the product. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly of the product you are experiencing issues with for troubleshooting.
