    Because Red Maple trees are sensitive to chemicals we would recommend for you to contact your local cooperative extension office, they'll be able to help you find the right course of treatment.

    Q
    Does the concentrated formula of Sevin kill carpet beetles
    A
    Sevin concentrate is not labeled to be used inside at all so would not be recommended for carpet beetles.  When dealing with carpet beetles, it is very important to find and remove the source of the beetles to get rid of them for good.

  • Asked by Ron from Trenton, Nj
    03/15/2016
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate stain my sidewalk?
    I applied Sevin Concentrate to my bushes and a couple days later my sidewalk was stained an orange color.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is white or beige in color and when mixed according to label instructions should form a clear solution that will also be clear when it dries, so there is really no way that it could have caused an orange stain.  Were there any other products that may have been applied in the area around the same time that the Sevin was applied?  There are many herbicide (weed killer) products that do have an orange color and can cause staining on concrete if not applied carefully.  If you do feel that it was the Sevin which caused the staining, you may want to contact the manufacturer directly.  You can reach GardenTech at 866-945-5033.

    Q

    Q
    Does Sevin work with Bayer Advanced All In One Rose and Flower Care?
    I have some bugs attacking my rose bushes -- I want to use both to make sure I get them. But, don't want to cause a chemical imbalance and kill the plants.
    A

    Bayer Advanced All In One Rose and Flower Care treats for many types of pests. Is there a pest that it is not labeled for? We see no reason to apply both. We would not recommend applying both to Roses at the same time.

  • Asked by Robert from Dell Rapids, Sd
    08/05/2016
    Q
    Why can't you use Sevin Concentrate on large trees?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not a systemic product and will not get up through the whole tree, which is likely why they do not suggest using it in the larger trees.

  • Asked by Carol from Goodyear, Az
    08/18/2016
    Q
    Why can't we use Sevin on our lawn?
    We have ticks.
    A

    Even though Sevin Insecticide Granules and Sevin Concentrate have the same active ingredients, they have different formulations. Because they have different formulations, they have separate Product Labels that have separate use instructions. For more detailed information as to why the Sevin Insecticide Granules can be used on lawns, where the Sevin Concentrate is limited to vegetables, fruit, and ornamentals please contact the manufacture, GardenTech at 866-945-5033.

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