    Treating Bagworms

    By Anonymous on 07/29/2013

    I was beside myself with 100s of bagworms all over my evergreen trees and shrubs, killing them. I used ecosmart insect killer, killed many but still had a bunch left. I tried Sevin and no more bagworms! Love this product! It works and not too expensive!!

    Worked better than other insecticides

    By Mic on 08/28/2012

    I spray for cucumber beetles and sucker bugs. Sevin is safest and works the best. Sucker bugs will kill a plant in hours if not treated in time.

Q
Can Sevin Concentrate be used indoors for ants?

Due to a lot of rain recently in Central Florida I am having a big ant issue all around my chicken coop in my chicken coop and now coming into the house. Can I spray the liquid 7 concentrated bug killer in my tanks 1 gallon sprayer. Not just the perimeter area my house but also the inside perimeter of my house?

A

Sevin Concentrate  is labeled to be used outdoors only. For ants indoors, we would recommend using something like Phantom Aerosol. This can be sprayed around the baseboards, cracks and crevices, void treatment where pests harbor, nest, trail, run, and/or breed or hide. Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes.

Q
Is it okay to spray Sevin on flowers even if we have beehives?
A
Sevin is not a selective insecticide and it will kill bees that come into contact with treated areas. Mavrik Permieter spray may be a better choice for you. Mavrik Perimeter is for outdoor use and is known for its immediate control of a variety of insects including mosquitoes, ants, spiders, ticks, springtails, cockroaches and fire ants. With Mavrik Perimeter there is no lingering odor or visible residue and when dry it is non toxic and non repellent to honey bees. It is important to only spray when the bees are not actually foraging in the area.

Q
How long does Sevin Concentrate take to kill ants?
A

When using Sevin Concentrate it can take a few weeks to get the results you needs as this is not a contact kill and need to work through the insect to fully eliminte them completely. Depending on the level of infestation you have we advise to reapply according to label for faster control.

Q
Will Sevin Concentrate address damage to peach and apple trees indicative of an aphid problem and ant problem?

I haven't seen any aphids. The young fruit has dried sap like nodules on them and sap is seeping at interval parts of tree itself. Is there solely an ant problem or something else at work causing an added ant problem?

A
We are unsure of exactly what you are dealing with, whether it is ants or aphids. Sevin Concentrate is a very good product that is labeled for apples and peaches. Mix 1.5 oz - 3.0 oz per gallon of water and applied using a hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer

Q
Ant infestation in oak trees

We have several large oak trees in our yard that are severely infested with small black ants. The ants apparently live/nest in the trees but have recently started moving around our yard a lot and are everywhere. Now they are even in our house, specifically in our attic. No other products have been successful in exterminating them so my mom suggested we use Sevin products. The product states it is specifically for outdoor use so is it safe to spray in the attic? We also have a large population of squirrels that we feed so which of your products would be safe to use that would not be harmful to our squirrel population?

A
Sevin Concentrate is labeled to be used outdoors only. For ants indoors, we would recommend using something like Phantom Aerosol. This can be sprayed around the baseboards, cracks and crevices, void treatment where pests harbor, nest, trail, run, and/or breed or hide. Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes.
