    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.

How much Sevin Concentrate Bug Killer do I use in water to kill genista worms on mountain laurel?

Q
Can Sevin help with something that is eating leaves on my oak seedlings?

Could be a caterpillar?

A

Sevin Concentrate does treat a wide variety of insects on ornamental plants such as oak. You would use 1.5 oz of concentrate per gallon of water on ornamentals. We do recommend inspecting the plants, especially the undersides of the leaves, to help you identify what, exactly is causing the problem. We can make an accurate recommendation for you once you have identified a specific pest.

Q
How long before I can put my horses back on the pasture after spraying Sevin Concentrate for army worms?
A

Unfortunately, per the manufacturer the Sevin Concentrate can't be used for this purpose. It is not labeled for any pasture or free range animal use, only for residential use, so we cannot advise on the time period.  You may check directly with the manufacturer if it has already been applied.  GardenTech can be reached at 866-945-5033.
