    Q
    Can we use the Sevin Concentrate to help get rid of the worms in our pecan trees? If so, what mixture do we need to use?
    We also have peach and plum trees. Can it be used on them?
    A

    Yes, Sevin Concentrate can be used on pecan, peach and plum trees.  However, if the trees are more then 10 feet tall, we would recommend using a soil drench product, as you would not be able to reach the entire tree with regular spray equipment.  If that is the case, we would recommend using Monterey Fruit Tree & Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench

  • Asked by Nick from Coloma, Michigan

    Q
    How often do I use Sevin to kill fleas and will the fleas come back
    A

    You did not mention what Sevin product you are referring to but the Sevin Concentrate product must make direct contact on the fleas for product to be effective per the product label so you would be making applications anytime fleas are present outdoors.

    If you are looking to treat inside and outside for fleas, you should definitely get our Indoor/Outdoor Flea Kit.  It comes with an excellent product called Onslaught, which is great for both outdoors and indoors.  It is also very safe around pets and has a long residual.  Also in the kit is an IGR called Martins IGR.  It is photo-stable up to 14 days which is about as long as you will find for an IGR that will be outside.  Of course you should mix both together in the same tank and apply at the same time both outside and inside.  

    You must vacuum indoors prior to the first treatment and then vacuum daily for 14 days to help eliminate some of the flea eggs and flea debris that the pupae feed on. Outdoors you should concentrate on moist, shady areas and areas where the animals spend time resting. After 14 days a retreatment may be needed to eliminate any left over fleas (the kit comes with enough product for repeat applications).
