  • Asked by Shirley from Culpepet Va
    06/04/2022
    Q
    There is only Rinse & Clean on my Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer RTS, there is no "ON" so how do I spray the insecticide?
    A

    We are aware of the confusion with the manufacturer’s verbiage on the product label for the Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer and what selections are actually on the container bottle and do apologize for this error. 

    With the setting in the “OFF” position, attach the water house to hose end connector and aim towards direction of application and away from you. Turn control lever to “MIX” to begin spraying, this will be setting at the furthest end on top of the RTS Bottle.  

    For additional questions, we recommend contacting GardenTech direclty at 866-945-5033, or via email on their website here.

    Q
    What happens if Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer freezes?

    Q
    What is difference between Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer and Sevin Dust?
    Do spray kill on contact while dust must be ate
    A

    Both Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer and Sevin Dust work in the same way as insects cross the treated foliage or area and picked up on the bodies. Neither of these products use a mode of action where the insect must consume the active ingredient to be affected.

  • Asked by Robbie from Jacksonville
    06/09/2021
    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. If this is a Garden Tech product, you can Garden Tech by calling 1-866-945-5033.

    05/30/2019
    Q
    Will Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer kill and prevent roaches?
    A

    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.
