Sevin 5% dust - - 3 each/1 lb. Shaker containers

Carbaryl, the active ingredient in Sevin, is in the carbamate class of chemistry. Carbamates inhibit cholinesterase, which affects the central nervous system of insects. Sevin works by contact and ingestion. Contact activity provides quick knockdown, while ingestive activity ensures complete pest control. Sevin also provides residual activity up to 14 days. Plus, Sevin is compatible with a broad range of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and adjuvants to allow for efficient and timely pest management.

Certain Sevin insect killer products can be used on vegetable plants, but you must carefully read and follow the label instructions for the specific Sevin product you are using, as application methods, compatible crops, and pre-harvest intervals (PHI) vary. The PHI is the required waiting period between applying the product and safely harvesting the edible portion of the plant, and this time can range from days to weeks depending on the vegetable. You should also avoid spraying open blooms to protect pollinators and wash produce thoroughly before consuming it.
