    Q
    Being it's warm outside the Sevin dries immediately. Is it still being effective?
    A
    Sevin Concentrate should be used while temperates are between 40 degrees and 85 degrees Fahrenheit for it be effective and safe. Even though it is drying quickly, it is still working on the plants if it is being applied within that temperature range. Also, Sevin needs to be applied at least 24 hours before an expected rain. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate it hurt the bees?
    the bees are busy pollenating. the fly control predators are also busy will this hurt them? I have sprayed squashes, pumpkins and cucumbers once, but not sure if all the bugs are gone.
    A
    According to the Sevin Concentrate product label "This product is highly toxic to honeybees and other bees. Do not apply to plants in bloom." Almost all insecticides are toxic to bees as they are non-selective. You can help limit any effect to bees by being careful not to apply the insecticides when bees are actively foraging in the area.

  • Asked by Angelique from Minnesota
    05/30/2016
    Q
    When should I start spraying the Sevin Concentrate on my plants and will it kill my little sprouts?
    I know the instructions say to start using it when you see the bugs, but I don't want to see the bugs before I start to kill them. I don't want to give them a chance to kill my pumpkins and gourds. My pumpkins and gourds have sprouted and are just starting to get little vines. If I, of course, though by the instructions on the label for the amount, when is it safe for the plants to start spraying them without damaging them?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is an insecticide designed to kill and prevent insects from infesting the vegetation you are treating. You can preventatively spray before you see bugs to get ahead of the game, and the product will not harm the plants you are spraying it on as long as you follow the instructions on the product label.

Can I spray the liquid 7 concentrated bug killer in my tanks 1 gallon sprayer. Not just the perimeter area my house but also the inside perimeter of my house?

    Sevin Concentrate  is labeled to be used outdoors only. For ants indoors, we would recommend using something like Phantom Aerosol. This can be sprayed around the baseboards, cracks and crevices, void treatment where pests harbor, nest, trail, run, and/or breed or hide. Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes.

  • Asked by Perry from Lakeland Fl
    01/11/2014
    Q
    Can you spray Sevin for fleas inside
    A
    Sevin is only labeled for outdoor use so would not be used inside.

    We recommend using the Indoor Flea Kit. The Indoor Flea Kit with Alpine Aerosol and CimeXa dust treats over 2000 sq. ft. of space and is an excellent combination for long-lasting flea control. The kit contains two cans of Alpine Aerosol which is one of the safest professional grade flea sprays for use indoors and was recently classified as a reduced risk product by the EPA. It provides excellent control of fleas and contains an IGR as well, which prevents adult fleas from being able to lay eggs, eventually halting the flea reproductive cycle.  You'll also get two bottles of CimeXa Dust which is a safe, odorless, non-staining dust that is perfect for spreading on carpets, floor coverings, in cabinets, under furniture cushions, and other areas where fleas tend to harbor.  As fleas come into contact with CimeXa, the dust literally dries the fleas out causing eventual death.  These two products together create a powerful double punch providing excellent, safe and lasting indoor flea control.

  • Asked by Ramona from Beulah , North Dakota
    06/29/2015
    Q
    Can Sevin Concentrate be used on evergreen trees, ash trees, plum trees, and Japanese lilacs
    I had the trees sprayed by a lawn service and he used Sevin that hooks up to a water hose. My trees have leaves curling up and one tree they are turning brown and leaves are falling off. Is there anything I can do to help my trees or are they ok?
    A
    While we cannot comment on the services done by professional companies we can say that Sevin Concentrate is labeled to treat for insects on ornamental trees and on plum trees. It is possible a disease could be effecting the trees and causing the damage unless insects where identified as the cause.  WIthout knowing exactly what is causing the issues we cannot make recommendations on what you can do to help the trees.  The trees should be fine with an application of Sevin if used as directed on the product label.
