What is Sevin Dust?
Sevin insecticide dust (made by Garden Tech) is a popular name-brand pesticide containing carbaryl, a pest control product that has been used by gardners for years to control insects in gardens, ornamentals and on crops and edible vegetables. Sevin dust is considered a broad-spectrum insecticide, meaning that it will kill the majority of insects that come into contact with it. This includes insects that infest vegetable plants as well as some pollinating and flying insects.
Sevin dust bug killer is available in a dust form as well as a liquid concentrate. Most gardners prefer Sevin Dust as it is easier to apply in the dust form and comes in a covenient 1 lb. shaker container. Be careful when applying Sevin on flowering plants or flowers that attract pollinating insects as Sevin will kill those beneficial insects if they should come in contact with the chemical. Sevin has low toxicity to mammals when used as directed.

QWill Sevin Dust kill bed bugs?
ASevin dust is not labeled for bedbugs and cannot be used indoors. We recommend that your purchase and use one of our bedbug kits. These kits come with everything you need to treat all of the different areas of the infested rooms. We also recommend putting bedbug mattress and boxspring encasements on your bed.

QIs 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?
ASevin 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.

QCan this product used to kill bees and prevent them from entering the area where their hive is? We have bees
entering an outdoor outlet on our deck.
ASevin is not labeled for bees. We would recommend using Delta dust or Tempo dust for eliminating bees that have been entering the outlet. Dusts do not offer an immediate knockdown but instead kill over a couple of days. Dusts will keep killing for several months after they have been applied to covered areas.
