Will seven kill june bugs ? If so do they have to eat the plants that
are sprayed ?
I was spraying my tomatoes and there was a june bug on the cage and I
sprayed him real well but he just kept walking on the cage.
I hope no one near you has bees . AFAIK Sevin kills pretty much all insects . Diatomaceous earth (DE) is pretty effective on most hard shell insects , to control the grubs you'll want Bacillus Thurigensis (Bt) or beneficial nematodes . Chemicals are an absolutely last resort for us ,
and never on a blooming plant that bees may forage on . Eight hives now
and planning on expanding to ten .

Where I am at I seldom see a bee. If there were any hives around I
would not spray. I only have a small garden, about 20 tomato plants and
a few squash plants.
I thought sevin killed almost all insects. The kind I used was a lquid
in a bottle that is several years old and I just mixed it with water
today.

Did you make sure you got the original container well mixed ? Sevin >>>> will settle out over time and can be a bitch to get it all back in
suspension .
I did shake the container a lot and it was very milkey when it came out
of the container. The container is only about a quart and can not see
in it.
Does Sevin concentrate go bad after a few years ? I only mix what I
spray at a time and then emmpty the sprayer that I never put any kind
of weed killer in.
I hate this time of the year. Sprayed the tomatoes about 3 oclock and
got a big down pour of rain that lasted about 20 minuites About 5
oclock. Not enough rain to do much for the farmers around here.
But definitely enough to wash away your treatment and generally
piss you off ! As far as checking to see if you got it mixed in the
bottle , put a stick or something in and see if there's stuff stuck to
the bottom . Sevin is a chemical compound that as far as I know never
goes bad .
Old Sevin brand name used to contain carbaryl but active ingredient now
may be zeta-cypermethrin. Both may be available so check label.
I discovered this last year buying Sevin for chestnut weevils. These different insecticides may not kill all the same insects.

I've had my bottle of Sevin for like 30 years ...
