    How soon after application of Sevin Concentrate will Japanese beetles die?
    A

    When using Sevin Concentrate for Japanese beetles, it would depend on where they are in their life cycle as to how long it takes the product to completely kill them. You should start to see a knockdown in a few days, but reapplications may be needed per the product label.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill grubs in my lawn?
    We had grubs damage the lawn last fall and need to treat for this summer.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to control grubs.  A better option would be something like Merit Granules or Dominion 2L (if you prefer a liquid) to spray your yard at the end of April/beginning of May to start protecting your yard against grub populations this year.

    Q
    Is Sevin Concentrate available in a clear spray instead of white?
    It really leaves all plants spotted with white. Not very attractive. Is there another product that might be clear that has same range of killing / controlling power?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is only available as a white/off-white liquid.  It can leave a residue behind especially if applied heavily.  If you can let us know where and what you are treating, we’d be happy to recommend an alternative for you.

    does this work on earwig
    A
    As long as the Sevin application has had about 24 hours to dry before rain fall occurs the application should not wash off of the treated area.  Please refer to the product label for reapplication timing on the particular area you have applied if it needs to be reapplied due to rain. Sevin is labeled for earwigs.

    Q
    Can I use Sevin Concentrate in a garden hose end sprayer?
    I have tried 2 different garden hose sprayers with liquid Sevin. It is a thick, milky-white, liquid & it Sprays for a few seconds then seems to quit drawing up & all I get is clear water. Is it possible it could be too thick for the sprayers? I have to use about 100' of hose, but the pressure seems ok. Other spray liquids seem to spray ok.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate should not clog up hose end sprayers, if they are cleaned after every use. We have just added a new hose end sprayer the Chapin 6005. This hose end sprayer can spray liquid and dilute water soluble powders without issue.

  • Asked by Toni from Closter, Nj
    05/06/2017
    Q
    Can I use Sevin on my house to get rid of wasps or yellow jackets?
    I have wasps or yellow jackets that have taken up residence in my house.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate can be applied to fruit trees, ornamentals, vegetable gardens, shrubs, flowers, outdoor insect perimeter control in residential areas. Mix 1.5 oz - 3.0 oz per gallon of water and applied using a hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. It is not labeled for treating yellow jackets or wasp nests.  Nests in ceiling areas  are best treated by drilling into the infested void and injecting the nest with Tempo 1% Dust. 

    1) Locate the nest. If you are not sure exactly where the nest is located, use a listening device to hone in as close as possible to the exact location.

    2) Drill small holes directly into the nest from inside of the structure. If it is not possible to drill from the inside, the drilling can be done outside. If you do this, be sure to leave any outside entrance holes open until the beginning of fall when hatching is sure to be completed. Then the entrance may be sealed to prevent further nest establishment.

    3) Apply Tempo 1% Dust liberally using a Centrobulb Duster (for easier application)

    4) Seal any inside holes.

    5) Repeat in 3 to 4 months to control for newly hatched yellow jackets.

    The ?Onslaught that comes in the Yellow Jacket kit will kill just about any type of wasp if they make contact with the product. The idea behind this kit is that you mix the Onslaught with a food item and wasps take the food item back to their nest and share it with the other wasps, killing the colony. If you have a type of wasp that does not take bait, then the kit would not be very effective. You can set out a few different food items to see if the wasps are attracted to them. If the wasps are attracted then you can use the kit successfully. If the wasps are not attracted to the food, then you should consider just spraying an insecticide such as Onslaught topically to areas where there has been wasp activity. Here are a few recommended baits: raw chicken pieces, raw fish, canned tuna, cat food, or fruit juice. Raw chicken pieces or tuna tend to work the best.

    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate kill lizards?
    A

    No, Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to kill lizards. We do know of any products that are made to harm lizards. We would recommend using a general insecticide, such as Suspend SC. This will kill their food source and help with keeping the lizards out of the treated area. Glue boards can also be used to catch them as well.

  • Asked by Lyn from Hauser, Idaho
    08/21/2016
    Q
    If sprayed on pear trees when fruit is on will Sevin Concentrate penetrate the fruit skin?
    A

    No, per the manufacturer Sevin concentrate when used on pear trees when fruit is present will not penetrate the skin. However, you do want to try and spray upper and lower leaf surface, between fruit clusters, and on small limbs and trunks only to the point of run off where the pest appear. Even though there may be some over spray when spraying it would not harm the pear itself. You would just want to be sure when you do harvest the fruit that you wash it well before using or eating.
