Works fast, buy a lot
By Scott on June 19, 2012I purchased Sevin to keep springtails and clover mites outside. I used it around the perimeter of my house and it literally worked over night. One bag was just enough for a perimeter treatment around my house...

April 25, 2011Melody asked:
QWhat does the spreader have to be set at if it is a Vigoro 4300
A Unfortunately we are not exactly sure what setting to place the spreader on, but typically there is not a specific setting since it all depends on how fast you walk, etc… The label calls for 3 to 7 pounds per 1000 square feet. If your spreader settings go from 1 to 10 (1 letting out the least and 10 letting out the most) you typically want to be around a 3 setting. If your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 6 or 7 setting. The goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feet. One person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slower. Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet. So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting. You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the extinguish in the spreader. Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace. You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet. I hope this adequately answers your questions. If you still have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us.

QHow often do you need to apply Sevin Insecticide Granules on your lawn?
How long does it stay effective before you need to apply again?
ASevin can be applied 4 times per year as needed for the target pest. (For instance you may only need to use it in the Spring/Summer and may apply 4 times during that period vs applying every 3 months)

March 26, 2012Judy from Burr Oak, Mi asked:
QWe have tried several products that were guaranteed to kill the ants and did not. Will this do the trick ?
Our yard is full of ants. Please point us in the right direction.
ASevin Insecticide Granules will work to eliminate ants that come into contact with treated areas. Most of the time when folks indicate they have tried several products for ant control with no success the problem usually can be traced back to the types of products they have been trying. We recommend that you select a product that can be transferred back to the colony instead of a product that is effective only on the ants that touch treated surfaces. Ant baits are always a good choice. We recommend you offer both a granular bait and a liquid bait to suit the feeding needs of different species of ants. You can apply the baits in Ant No More Bait Stations so that the bait will stay fresh for a long time. The ants will enter the bait station and pick up the bait that suits them and carry it back to the colony and share it with the other ants. Baiting will wipe out the entire colony rather than just the foragers that are usually killed by topical applications of insecticide.
April 11, 2012Jeannine from Mapleville, Ri asked:
QI'm tired of spending a fortune on Frontline Plus. Will this make my yard safe for our two dogs?
They have both contracted Lyme disease in the last two years.
ASevin Insecticide Granules will definitely help you reduce or eliminate the fleas and ticks in your yard. Dogs should still be on a preventative though because fleas and ticks may wind up in a small untreated area or fleas or ticks may have just dropped off of another animal and may not have had time to receive a lethal dose of insecticide before coming into contact with your dogs.
April 19, 2012Don from Shelby Twp, Mi asked:
QIn the midwest what is the best time of year for the application of Sevin Granules?
AThis application timing of Sevin Granules will depend on the type of insects you are trying to control and exactly what state you are in. The best source for application timing information is your local cooperative extension office as the master gardener and entomologist on staff are very familiar with the flora and fauna in your region.
June 5, 2012Frederick from Florida asked:
QI currently use DeltaGard. Any pros or cons with switching to Sevin granules instead?
Any pros or cons with switching to Sevin granules instead? I noticed Sevin is cheaper.
ADeltagard has a broader label that covers more insect pests than Sevin. Deltagard also lasts for several months at a time where as Sevin granules may need to be reapplied every couple of weeks to maintain control. You should also note that Sevin granules come in a 10 lb bag and Delta Gard comes in a 20 lb bag so the prices are pretty even when compared pound for pound.
July 29, 2012Anna from Gainesville, Ga. asked:
QWill Sevin Grandulars work on spider mites on evergreens, conifers,
and boansi plants?
ASevin granules are not labeled for spider mite control. Talstar P is our most widely used product for spider mite control on non-edible vegetation.
