Size of container adding to pollution

Size of container misleading as to quantity of procduct. The container was less than half full although probably is 1 lb net weight as shown. Could do more in reducing pollution. The Sevin powder worked miracles though on an underground colony of yellow jackets that I had tried burning out and drowning with dish detergent which only succeeded in me being stung several times.

Used 7 dust and 7 liquid and 7 granules in my garden.

Would Not Recommend

The squash bugs were eating up my garden!! I used all three 7 products that I memtioned in the Headline. The 7 dust did fine at first then the bugs came back with a vengeance! I changed to 7 liquid. It worked for a short time... Then the bugs came back with more hunger than before! So I went and bought a $20 bag of 7 granules. It worked for a week or so. Then the bugs were back. I ended up buying 3 bags of granules.. and they still ate up my garden! I spent alot of $$ and my garden was still ate...

fast working

Would Recommend

I use both the dust and liquid. I went around, dusted my rose bushes, and hydrangea. Mixed up a sprayer of liquid ro spray some taller bushes. I checked the rose bushes as i walked past, ALOT of dead Japanese Beetles, and let me say there was alot of them. The spray seems to work equally as well.

Sevin insect killer dust

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Sevin insect killer dust to try at my home. Near my garage I had a lot of ants everywhere. After using the insect killer I went and looked around the garage and no longer seen the piles of ants. I also used aound some of my plants and haven't seen any bugs around there either.

Easy to use, seems to work

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a small garden, it's more of some tomato plants, less of a garden. But I didn't want bugs to eat me plants. It seems to work, I haven't had the little holes in the leaves that I've had in the past.

Roly Poly's be gone!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clearing out weed grass in our raised beds, I suddenly realized we had a roly poly infestation! We sprinkled on the Sevin Dust and crossed out fingers. But the next day we're pleasantly surprised to see a significant improvement. Unfortunately a heavy dose of rain washed away our efforts but it didn't seem to bring any bugs back either. But to be safe we reapplied and haven't seen a Roly Poly bug since.

Freedom

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this in our backyard plot of plants that usually give us insect problems and so far so good, it may have taken a while for it to fully appreciate what it was doing but after a few weeks we haven't had the same problems as past summers
