Customers overwhelmingly praise this dust for its powerful pest-elimination performance, with most reporting immediate results against ants, aphids, beetles, and other garden pests. Reviewers consistently highlight how simple it is to apply—just shake it directly onto plants, preferably in morning dew—with only a small amount needed for effective coverage. Many customers report using it reliably for years as their go-to gardening solution after other products failed. A few mention packaging concerns about underfilled containers, though these isolated complaints do not diminish the strong consensus that this delivers dependable, visible pest control results.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the holes on the top makes it easier for applying the powder. Consistency is good if you applied it in the evening and rinse it out in the morning. I store it a bin in my shed so it will last longer. Overall I like this product it’s worked great keeping bugs and ants off my plants and veggies.

Horrible lid but the product itself is great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Sevin Insect Killer Dust in exchange for my honest feedback. I haven’t had any pests in my flower beds lately, but I did have a lot of ants with a pretty large ant trail right next to my house. I’m not sure if the powder kills them, but by the next day, almost all of the ants were gone. There were still a few here and there, but the activity was much lower.

Works Well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product to work well. I had bugs eating on my hydrangea and I applied this. A few days later the leaves had improved, and I didnt see any more pest. However, I fkund it difficult to apply it in small amounts. The powder comes out fast, and it makes it difficult to apply it lightly. But, overall, I am happy with it, because it does work well.

High quality, packs a punch in little dusting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Instructions are easy to follow, a little goes a long way. One bottle covers 2,000 sq ft of lawn. Doesn't have strong odor, although directions call for PPE. Be safe! Sevin will help protect over 125 fruits and veggies. Killing 150+ insects on contact. Once dust settles, it's safe to enter for people and pets. I enjoyed my chance to review this product.

Sevin dust to prevent insects from eating your garden.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so super excited for this product study, due to we absolutely have insects that we need out of our garden and this product is not harmful to pets or children. I absolutely love safe for use products that contain nothing harmful. The performance of this Sevin dust is top notch and by far supreme. Everyone who has a garden should have products by Sevin. It is a white powder that you sprinkle out onto your plants and garden that keep insects...

Good adherence.
The powder stays on and helps deter the bugs even during rain.
Very efficient and no strong smell
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product worked very good, eliminated the bug issue very quickly and efficiently without the necessary use of a lot of product. There was no strong chemical smell or lingering powder in the air either.
