[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sevin Dust works especially well in my flower pots on tender plants. It’s not the easiest container to open which is fine to keep small children from opening. But it’s easy to shake and apply evenly to plants. It’s a very fine texture that works great even on the most stubborn of pests without harming the frogs in my potted garden. The photo results are after only 1 application several weeks apart and show the lack of tiny white flies after usi...

Gets the job done.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using it for the past few weeks and I will say it’s easy to handle. Dust on plants and around the patio while not leaving a strong odor, while getting rid of the bugs. It’s safe for pets which is a plus due to being in a farm.

Effective Pest Control
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product worked great for controlling ants in my house. I sprinkled it around the foundation where I thought they were coming in, and they were gone within a week. It is easy to apply, and washes off well when you’re done. Be aware it is toxic to cats, amphibians, and beneficial insects, so apply accordingly. The texture is a soft powder, and spreads around easily.

Great for the garden not so good for around the house
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product in the past for my tomato plants and had very good results. I tried it on some different stuff around the house and didn't get the same results as before. I tried it on a few different ant beds and it didn't really seem to phase them. So if you are buying this for your garden plants I highly recommend, but if you plan to use it around the house I would look for some better options.

Must have for garden

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This insect killer dust was easy to use! I sprinkled it on my lawn where I have a ton of mosquitoes and within the day I noticed a big difference! It could use more in the bottle, but it was good enough for my lawn.

Vegetables and fruit fruits without the pests!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely the best! Keep your flower beds garden or any other outside area free from pests! Easy to apply by just opening the lid and shaking. A little bit goes a long way and covers your yard with one jar. It probably has been ran for years for a reason!

Solid product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was nervous about this hurting the pollinating insects, but I followed the instructions and all seems well. I normally have earwigs eating my dahlias, and June bugs destroying my roses. This is the first time I haven't had that. I will be purchasing again! Value is there. It can be a bit messy but it is a powder so I'm not sure what else there would be to say about that.

I really like how convenient it is to use, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I have an effective option when pests start showing up.

Really hard to tell if it works at all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was really difficult to use. For starters the print on the bottle is so small it’s almost impossible to read the directions. Secondly, I could not figure out how to get the top open. The directions said to flip the top, but mine was impossible to move so I had to unscrew it, meaning I was not able to sprinkle the material as instructed on my plants. The amount inside the bottle was meager compared to the size of the container. In t...
