Ratings & Reviews for Sevin 1-Gallon Concentrate Garden Insect Killer

Didn't work at all - waste of my time and money!

I tried product for the first time 1-2 weeks ago and it FAILED miserably!.....I have ants in my yard and following the listed directions, I applied your product accordingly...It made the "colonies" immobile for 2 days and then, they came back with a vengeance!....I then increased the amount over the next 1-2 weeks for each additional application of your product almost to the point of putting it on straight from the container and guess what?, even checking today 10-24-2018, the ants have gone no-...

Works for Lanternfly

My maple trees were loaded with Lanternflies. In order to reach the high branches, I stood on a ladder and used the 32 oz bottle as the "soap" in my power washer, using the low pressure soap setting, The flies immediately dropped when hit by the spray. When they hit the ground they walked around a bit, more sluggish than usual. They started walking back toward the tree and started climbing back up, again more sluggish than usual. I was a bit disappointed. But then about 20 minutes later they sta...

Lanternfly

Works great on the lanternfly. Doesn't kill immediately but you can tell it's working. Once the lanternfly comes in contact they being to appear drunk then die.

Doesn't kill

Have white fly problem and even spraying directly on them does nothing. Even increased concentration with no effect. Don't Waste your money!

Not anymore

I have used Sevin for many years and was my go to when I needed pest control. We moved to a new home and had an ant problem outside. Big carpenter ants, Small hairy ants ....the works, I was out of the usual red Sevin bottle so I picked up a new bottle at the hardware store. I sprayed 3x work a week and nothing slowed them down I soaked the hills and the next day business, as usual I sprayed the trails, directly on the ants...Nothing! I had to go to something else to get rid of these ants. New f...

Eliminated my chestnut weevil worms

Sprayed the trees weekly each August, nuts are worm-free.

Question ...

I have used this product for many years to treat fire ants. It has always done a wonderful job! However, I just bought a new bottle, mixed it in a gallon bottle as usual. The usual thing I would see is the liquid would be white when I treated the mounds. This new bottle pours out of the gallon bottle (when mixed with water) practically clear. I thought maybe I forgot to add it! But, I know I did. I did shake the concentrate and measure as usual.... Is it now almost clear when mixed? The liquid f...

Effective and easy

Easy application that is very effective. I use it to protect many plants, but primarily a fence line of Serviceberry that usually gets destroyed by Japanese Beetles. This has done a great job of killing the beetles.

This product does not work

Way back in the day, you spray Sevin on something, and the bugs were gone. They must have changed the formula, because now it is safe for gardens also, but the only downside, is it doesn't kill anything. We've even sprayed plants every day, then come home the next day, and the japanese beetles and other bugs are right back at it again eating our plants. There has to be some compromise between the highly toxic old Sevin product that actually worked, and this new product that does not do anything....

I will continue to use this product

If used properly I've had great success with bug control on my vegetable garden

Wow the bug/flys are dead 99% anyway...

Three month of protection, so I'm thinking the dust cloud of whiteflies that I did have, and now the occasional one -- is some that will still be killed, but I gonna keep a close watch, on those grass browning critters, anyway.... Had a very old and the least expensive water siphon sprayer, so I had to dilute, the Sevin, to make the water siphon sprayer work, but I still put on the recommended amount per gallon of water; it was fairly easy; done in a short amount of time: approximately 5000 sq. ...

I have added this product to my arsenal

I am now usually this product to combat my Japanese beetle problem. It is quite effective and mixes well with the fungicides that I use. The old formula (carbaryl) doesn't seem to really slow down the beetles, which can be a destructive force in my vineyard.

The new Sevin is definitely an improvement.

Works great!! Is keeping the dreaded squash vine borer at bay. Plants look great and very healthy after application.

Yes yes yes

Love it

I will use this product again!

I Have a bedbug problem, I did a test on a small area and it killed the bugs in about 5 seconds.

Works Great
