    Q
    I'm concerned about using Sevin to spray my grape vines to rid them of Japanese beetles
    I'm worried about the mist contaminating the surrounding ground for my dogs. I use the grape vines to cover a pergola, I don't eat the grapes, as the birds get the first. What mix ratio should I use?
    A
    To avoid any issues you should keep your pets out of the area while you are applying Sevin and you can allow them back in the area after the application has dried. As long as you follow the product label instructions there is only a very small amount of pesticide over any given area, only enough to kill insects not enough to harm a mammal.  According to the Sevin product label: Mix 3.0 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water and spray upper and lower leaf surfaces and between fruit clusters and on small limbs and trunks to the point of runoff where pest appear. Repeat applications as necessary up to a total of eight times per year for tree fruits or five times per year for small fruits, but not more often than once every seven days.

    Q
    How Long Does Sevin Concentrate Remain Active On Plant?
    I know that I can spray plants seven days after a previous spraying and am limited to six sprayings per season. To better utilize my six sprayings, how long does the Sevin remain effective before I have to spray again to have active protection?
    A

    There are many variables contributing as to how long Sevin Concentrate stays on a plant.  Please review the product label.  You will find a very helpful table listing the Pre Harvest Interval and number of applications allowed for each plant. You can reappy 14 days after initial application.

    Q
    Can I use Sevin on my couch and carpet?
    I was told that I could use Sevin-5 in home on couch, carpet, and that it would kill everything. Me or my pet, was told just to wait no longer than 2 days before sweeping up, also told that people were using it on pets instead of Frontline or other. Is this true?
    A
    Sevin (at least the Sevin product that we carry) is not labeled for use on couches or carpets, and it is not labeled for use on pets.  So we cannot comment on the validity of those statements. We can only make recommendations based on the instructions on the product.
