Would Not RecommendWe used the sprayer as soon as we got home only once and the sprayer hose clogged up with white hard stuff. Now we have to pour the product in another spray container to even use the product.
Doesn’t Work
Would Not RecommendI have used this twice and it doesn’t keep bugs or beatles off of my plants. It must be watered down cause it use to work.
In ground bees
Would RecommendI used this on an in ground bees nest. The sprayer was exceeding slow for what I was doing. Ended up pouring it in the main ground opening. One application and the bees were gone.
Ineffective on japanese beetles, sprayer bad
Would Not RecommendBought to treat japanese beetles on roses. Even after shaking up the product thoroughly and giving the little guys a direct shower, they just kept munching away. They're sitting there eating away with the milky white liquid dropping off their bodies and having no troubles at all. Like other reviewers, I found the sprayer poor. It worked better if I gave the trigger a couple of seconds to recover between squeezes, but that just meant having to apply slowly. It did spray though, if I was patient. ...
Works great!
Would RecommendWe have a lot of rose bushes and they were getting eaten up by beetles. This stuff wiped out all the beetles and restored our rose bushes to their total beauty.
Good product
Would RecommendIt befalls me to read the same reviews on the other Sevin products that say, "Don't buy. My plants are burnt ". Bought this product a week ago and to my surprise the beetles which were eating my plant leaves on several plants, started to disappear, right away after the first application. My leaves didn't burn because I made sure that I applied it before it got to hot. First thing in the morning so that the leaves could dry, just like the instructions say. If you apply it when it's 85% or hotter,...

Just a little dab will do
Would RecommendWe were having issues with small bugs / ants eating our black berries, and blooms on our tomatoes, and Jalapeno's. Just a few sprays and our plants are protected, even after days or watering or rains.
Lousy Item
Would Not RecommendHad high hopes of using this item around the exterior of my home to control ants. First off the pump did not work, no action just air and sore fingers and hand from trying to make the pump work. I resorted to using a backup spray bottle, a hand spray bottle which was a Seven brand I believe 12 ounce insect spray which never was effective for spot spraying anyway. The bugs just kept right on moving about doing their business. I used the hand held spray bottle spraying and refilling as I moved aro...
Horrible design
Would Not RecommendThis sprayer does not work! Even after shaking and shaking the sprayer failed to spray the liquid. The entire sprayer locked up... bad design!!!
Good product
Would RecommendSpray applicator worked well, tube is flexible and long enough. Prefer liquid application to powder.
Say Good Bye to Japanese Beetles
Would RecommendSimply Spray well all Rose Bushes or other plants being eaten by Japanese Beetles and they do not return. Less trouble than using the Sevin Powder around Rose Bushes with thorns for obvious reasons. This Sevin Spray Exceeded my expectations. Super Stuff.
Garden Insecticide
Would RecommendI had to return because the spray would not work. I exchanged it for another
