    Can I use this to treat the ground around my grape vines and kill off Japanese beetles before they emerge?"

  • Asked by Mike from Fort Atkinson, Wi
    09/20/2021
    Q
    Cleaning the sprayer after using Sevin Concentrate
    Can I just dump the excess solution and then just rinse out the sprayer with plain water to clean it?
    A

    The normal protocol in the industry when using the same sprayer for multiple chemicals including Sevin Concentrate, is to triple rinse it between each use or use a tank cleaner. You would want to run clean water not only through the tank, but pressurize it to pump clean water through the pump itself, hose, wand and nozzle to clean them. As long as you do a thorough job rinsing it you can swap over to a new chemical right away in the same sprayer.

  • Asked by Sandy from Holly Springs, Ms
    07/26/2021
    Q
    If I sprayed Sevin concentrate on the soil is it absorbed by nearby plants?
    I sprayed Sevin around the base of my plants, including milkweed to stop army worms from getting in my flower beds. Is Sevin absorbed by the plants? I have monarch butterfly caterpillars that are eating that milkweed. Will it harm the caterpillars?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not systemic so is not absorbed by the plants.  It is labeled to control many varieties and species of caterpillars so would kill any that feed off the plants foliage or areas that have been sprayed.
