Does Sevin Insecticide Granules have to be watered in to be effective?

2 big a yard 2 water after applying the Sevin Insecticide Granules. I have just under 2 acres. Don't can't really water that with a hose. As long as not a heavy downpour, can I just watch the forecast and apply at rainfall and receive same results?

Answer:

Watering the Sevin granules in is what activates the granules. If it is going to rain close to the time you are applying the granules that will be fine too. 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.
