While Sevin Concentrate is labeled for a variety of different scales, it is not labeled for bark scale. It would be best to drench with an imidacloprid product such as Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I. Some extension office actually recommend avoiding Seven for scale

Sevin Concentrate like other insecticides has the possibility of freezing when stored in freezing temperatures. We would recommend storing it out of extreme temperatures. Generally when shipping a product it would not freeze the facilities are climate controlled to a certain degree & are not on trucks long enough. However, we would recommend bringing it inside as soon as possible once delivered
Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to be used on cannibas. We recommend that you contact your state pesticide board for what is approved for use on cannabis plants in your state since very few products are labeled for this use.

Sevin Concentrate is labeled to be used on both pecan and walnut trees. Please refer to the product label for mix rates and instructions.

Sevin Concentrate is labeled to treat bark beetles. The label states it should not be applied to trees larger than 10 feet tall; this is possibly because doing so would not apply an adequate amount of product to the trunk to be effective in killing insects that contact it. When treating for bark beetles, it is recommended to spray up to 15 feet high since generally they do not go much higher than that. You can use a product like Permethrin SFR to do so. Unfortunately, once the borers have already infested the tree there are not any viable treatment options as they would be protected from sprays. In cases of infestation, the general recommendation is simply to protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use. Infested trees will need to be trimmed and/or completely removed.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer advice for products to any customers with any type of medical issues. We recommend having your mom contact her physician before applying Sevin Concentrate.
The Sevin Concentrate should kill any stalk borer that comes into contact with it, that being said, its not a systemic product so its not one that will get taken up by the plant. Common stalk borer caterpillars can be difficult to manage because caterpillars that tunnel into stalks are very well protected. Cultural control for common stalk borer includes any weed management plan that limits or eliminates grasses near field margins. We do not have an effective control for borers that are inside of the stem. Per the Iowa State Extension research article on stalk borers: Plants can sometimes be saved by slicing open the stem and removing the borers by hand. Wilted plants should be considered as a source of additional borer problems and these should be removed and destroyed. The best suggestion is to keep weeds and tall grasses controlled and mowed around gardens and flowers, especially in the fall. This will help eliminate sites that are attractive to the adult moths and the young borers.
Sevin Concentrate is "white to off white" according to the manufacturer's SDS.
