    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.

    Q
    Will squirrels eat sweet corn sprayed with Sevin?
    A
    Since squirrels are attracted to sweet corn, they could potentially ingest Sevin Concentrate. Please keep in mind that after Sevin is diluted there is only a large enough amount active ingredient to kill small insects. The squirrel would have to ingest a lot of corn treated with sevin for it to harm them.

    Q
    Can Sevin Concentrate be used for Japanese beetles on basil?
    Basil is not listed on the PHI literature. I sprayed the Sevin ready to use this morning. Temps are in low 90's. Just had a very severe downpour. How soon should I spray again. And how long to wait before eating the basil?
    A

    Unfortunately Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to be used on basil.  Any basil sprayed with it should be discarded and not eaten.  Ferti-lome Triple Action would be a better option, applied in early morning before temperatures get too hot.

    Sevin Concentrate should not be applied near water has it highly toxic to aquatic organisms. We do offer a product called EcoVia EC that would be great to apply to non-edible areas.

    Q
    Can Sevin Concentrate be mixed with Roundup?
    A

    Roundup products are non selective herbicides that kill everything they are applied to so we cannot see any valid reason to mix it with Sevin Concentrate unless you want to kill the plant/grass area you are trying to control the listed insects on.  That being said, as long as both product labels are followed you could do so but we would recommend doing a compatibility test.

    Q
    what if i spread sevin in a seed spreader and forgot to water it, can I go back two days later?
    A

    We are not sure which type of Sevin you are referring to. The Sevin Insecticide comes in a granular and liquid form. The clarification for both is listed below. Please let us know if you have any further questions. 

    Since the Sevin Insecticide Granules are activated by being watered in, we would recommend watering them as soon as you can. Failure to water in the granules can lead to treatment failure because the chemical cannot be released from the granule and will not be available to the pests. 

    The Sevin Concentrate is mixed at a rate of 1.5 oz - 3.0 oz per gallon of water and applied using a hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. For this type of appication, the product need 24 hours without rain for enough time to dry.
