SL is referring to the formulation of the product. In the case of Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide, this means Soluble Liquid, meaning the product is a liquid concentrate that is diluted in water before application.
The mixing rate of PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide for peaches is 1 1/2 - 2 1/4 fl oz per gallon of water. This will treat 1000 square feet.
PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide 2.5 should be applied at approx 6 oz per 1,000 sq feet for white grubs such as Japanese beetle larvae. For green June beetle larvae, you can apply at 1.5 – 3 oz per 1,000 sq ft.
PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide is safe for animals if used as directed. Animals should be kept out of the area during application but can return once dry.
Yes, you can use a Surfactant with PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide 2.5. According to the product's label, the addition of a sticker may improve residual control. Be sure to follow the label instructions.
Per the product label, Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide is limited to spot treatments ONLY for residential turfgrass, it cannot be sprayed as a broadcast application as you are wanting to do. If treating Sod Webworms (lawn moths), the amount of water will vary depending on the layout of the area, how wet or dry the soil is and also the thickness of the thatch layer. Sod Webworms are beneath the soil surface so it is important to use a sufficient amount of water to get the active ingredient into those areas under the ground surface.
The mix rate is 4.4 to 6 fl oz per 1,000 sq feet. To determine how much water you need, we would suggest doing a “mock” application filling your sprayer with water doing a test run to see how much water it will take to spray 1,000 sq ft. Every yard is different and since you are needing to get the product below the soil surface, it can take 1 gal, 1.5 gal, or 2 gal to thoroughly cover the area, this is why a “mock” application is helpful. Once you determine how much water is needed, then you will use 4.4 to 6 fl oz of Sevin SL Carbaryl with that amount of water to treat a 1,000 sq ft area.
Two alternative recommendations for broadcast treatments would be Talstar P or Talstar XTRA Granules. We recommend these in our Sod Webworm Treatment Guide
Talstar P is a liquid concentrate and will treat for Sod Webworms as a broadcast application and Per the product label, mix at 0.25 fl oz to 1.0 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft and use the higher rate if grass height is over 1 inch with sufficient water amounts to penetrate the soil. Talstar P can be applied every 30 days for outdoor control.
Talstar XTRA Granules, are labelled to treat Sod Webworms at a rate of 50 to 100 lbs per acre or 1.15 to 2.3lbs per 1,000 sq ft. These granules need to be watered in with ¼ inch of rain or irrigation immediately after applying to active the granule. After the application has dried, the granules will last 2-4 months in the soil.
There are not any products that are labeled to control earth worms or night crawlers, and we are not sure if PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide will work for this use.
When applying Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide to apples for Japanese beetles you will use 1 ½ to 3 quarts per acre (1 1/8 to 2 1/4 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft). The product label states on apples, avoid use during the period from full bloom until 30 days after full bloom unless fruit thinning is desired. Use during this period also may result in fruit removal. Repeat applications as necessary up to a total of 8 times per crop (including thinning sprays on apples) but not more often than once every 14 days.
When using PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide you would need to have animals out of the area while treating and until the product completely dries.
The 1 quart of Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide to 100 gallons of water is for trees and ornamentals. The rate for stone fruit trees is 1 ½ oz- 3 ¾ oz per 1000 sq ft, depending on the insect you're treating for. Please refer to the product label to determine the rate for your specific pest.
PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide is not labeled for yellow jackets so we would not recommend it for killing them. It is more for ornamental and turf insect pests.
Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide is not considered a “non-repellent”. The insect will contact the treated area and eventually die. If you are looking for a non-repellent, Taurus is a good non-repellent for ants to be applied exterior perimeter of structures.
PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide 2.5 is applied at the rate of 6 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. for white grubs, or 8 quarts per Acre. Please see the full product label for complete application instructions.
Sevin Concentrate used to contain the active ingredient carbaryl, which is sometimes used for chemical thinning of apple trees. However, the new formulation with zeta-cypermethrin does not have that labeling and will not affect thinning. We do carry PROKOz Sevin SL Carbarly Insecticide, which is labeled to be used for apple thinning. We recommend consulting with an arborist before doing this treatment if you have done it before. This article from the Penn State Extension has great information about chemical apple thinning.
Unfortunately PROKoZ Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide is not labeled for use on Grape Vines. We would recommend Sevin Concentrate because it contains the same active ingredient and it is labeled for use on Grapes.
There is a chart on page 6 of the product label for Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide that clarifies. You would use the rate of 1.5 - 3 oz per 1,000 sq ft for Green June Beetle larvae or for the adults of scarab beetles such as June beetles, May beetles, and Japanese beetles. For white grubs (such as Japanese beetle larvae), you should use the higher rate of 6 oz per 1,000 sq ft. Keep in mind that this product must be applied when the larvae are feeding near the surface.
Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide has a shelf life of 3-5 years if stored outside of extreme temperatures.
