Sevin Dust Insect Killer

Sevin Dust Insect Killer is a ready-to-use garden and lawn insecticide dust designed to help protect vegetables, fruits, flowers, ornamental shrubs, lawns, and home perimeters from damaging insects. Formulated with 0.1% bifenthrin, this convenient dry dust starts killing listed pests on contact and provides broad-spectrum control against over 150 listed insects, including Japanese beetles, armyworms, cabbage worms, cutworms, sod webworms, deer ticks, ants, aphids, stink bugs, leafhoppers, cucumber beetles, flea beetles, squash bugs, earwigs, and many more.

A light, even dusting is all that is needed. There is no mixing, measuring, or sprayer required—simply shake the product onto labeled treatment areas to create a thin, uniform coating. For best coverage on garden plants, apply dust to the upper and lower sides of leaves, stems, and flowers when insects or insect damage first appear. Sevin Dust can also be used as a preventative treatment in labeled areas to help reduce pest pressure before infestations become severe.

This product is especially useful for home gardeners looking to protect edible crops and ornamental plants from chewing and sucking insects. It is labeled for use on over 125 listed fruits and vegetables, including crops such as strawberries, raspberries, pears, peas, beans, broccoli, cabbage, squash, pumpkins, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, peanuts, and more. Always follow the crop-specific directions and pre-harvest interval listed on the product label before harvesting treated edibles.
