    Q
    Can Sevin Dust be used for scabies in the home?
    A

    Sevin Dust is for outdoor use only and is not labeled for scabies.  Scabies mites only live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-Fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home is usually not necessary.

    Q
    Is Sevin still active once it is mixed with water?
    I have a severe case of bedbugs and was told to spray all infected areas with sevin mixed with water since my infestation is so severe. Will it work?
    A
    Sevin is not labeled for use on bedbugs or for use indoors and you should not use the product for off label uses. You should use products that are specifically labeled for bedbugs to eliminate the infestation. Please consider purchasing one of our bedbug kits as they come with the products that you will require to eliminate bedbugs. You should use bedbug proof mattress and boxspring encasements on your bed.

    Q
    I was told to put this under neath the shavings in my pig stall to prevent maggot. Will with hurt my pig?
    A
    Generally, Sevin Dust is to be applied in areas where pets will not be. However, since the Sevin Dust will be applied under the shavings in the pig stall, you would want to keep pets away from the treated area until the dust has had time to settle and has been covered by the shavings and it should not harm your pigs.

    Q
    I put alot of the 5% sevin dust under my deck. Now I'm worrying about breathing in the dust when the wind blow
    Now I want it gone, can I just spray it with water to get rid of it? Do you think the wind is stirring it up.
    A

    Dust such as Sevin Dust can move with the wind if it is applied very heavily or to very dry areas. We do not think there would be concern about being on the deck above where the product has been used. If you wet the area with a hose or watering can, then the dust will break down more quickly and be absorbed into the ground.

Also, do not applying this product on a windy day.

  • Asked by Brenda from Ville Platte, La
    08/03/2017
    Q
    Can Sevin Dust be applied directly on plant leaves?
    Can you spray any outdoor plant with Sevin dust? And could copper help your plant with yellow leaves?
    A

    Sevin Dust can be applied on plant leaves in most cases, but please be advised that the label states that new or tender foliage may be damaged in the presence of rain or high humidity in the first few days after application. 

    If you have some plants where the leaves are turning yellow, we would recommend that you identify the cause of the yellowing (drought, stress, disease, etc.) to determine whether it would be appropriate to use copper to treat this, or if a different type of product is needed.
