    Q
    Can I treat in and around the mulch in my flower beds with Sevin Dust?
    I've started to notice centipedes.
    A

    Sevin Dust is not labeled for centipedes.  If you do want to use a dust product, we would recommend something like Delta Dust, as it is waterproof and will last for a long time outdoors.

    How much ready to use 5% dust do you need to cover 100 square yards
    A
    100 square yards is equivalent to 900 sq. ft. and Sevin Lawn Insecticide Granules should be applied at a rate of 1 to 4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. using a ground or hand spreader.

    Q
    Do I need to apply Sevin Dust 5% again after the rain?
    I applied sevin dust to my plants the other day and then we had an unexpected rainstorm. The powder has dried to the top of the plants but should I reappy the powder again?
    A

    When applying Sevin Dust, or any other insecticide dust outdoors, you want to have as many dry days in a row as possible to allow the product to work. Once it rains it will wash away the dust as it is not designed to stick to the surfaces outdoors long term.

    Q
    Do I sprinkle Sevin Dust 5% directly on tomato plants or around bottom of plant?
    How frequently can I apply?
    A

    When using Sevin Dust 5%, you should apply the product lightly to cover leaf surfaces with a thin, even film of dust. Do not repeat applications more than once every 7 days days. The pre-harvest interval for tomatoes is 3 days, meaning you should not apply more than 3 days before you are going to pick the tomatoes from the treated plants. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    If I use sevin dust to kill ants in my compost pile, how long before I can use the soil to start my seeds?
    A
    You do not have to wait any period of time as long as the seeds you are planting are listed as an allowed plant on the Sevin product label. You should not use Sevin dust in the compost if the seeds you are planting are not listed on the product label.

    Q
    How long does it take for Sevin dust to kill fleas?
    A

    Sevin Dust 5% is not labeled for fleas only flea beetles and would not be recommended to use.

    For treating fleas inside and outside the home, we recommend our Indoor/Outdoor Flea Kit along with topical flea treatment such as Martins Prefurred Plus for dogs.

    Both Onslaught and Martins IGR will have instructions on the bottle that you need to read before use. Always read the product labels.
    Outdoor Use:
    Onslaught Insecticide: Mix 0.5 to 1.0 fluid ounce of Onslaught in sufficient water to cover 1,000 square feet of lawn. Spray the entire lawn with a coarse, wet spray. Repeat this application in two weeks.

    Martins IGR:  Once you've mixed up the Onslaught according to the instructions mentioned above, simply add the desired amount of Martins IGR to the mix and spray both the Onslaught and Martins IGR at the same time. We recommend about 1 oz of Martins per every 5 gallons of Onslaught solution that you mix up.

    Indoor Use:

    Onslaught Insecticide: Mix 0.5 oz of Onslaught with 1 gallon of water (+ 1 oz of Martins IGR if needed, please see below) to treat a 1,000 sq ft area. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray to infested rugs, carpets, and pet resting areas.

    Martins IGR: Add 1 oz of Martins IGR to the diluted solution of Onslaught for the initial treatment.

    Prior to treatment, carpets, draperies and upholstered furniture should be vacuumed thoroughly and the vacuum cleaner bag disposed of in an outdoor trash receptacle. Remove pets from area to be treated. After treatment, do not allow children and pets into treated areas until spray has dried. You should vacuum once daily every day for the next 14 days to help speed up the flea elimination process. A second application of Onslaught may be needed after 14 days.
