Sevin Insect Killer Dust
Sevin Insect Killer Dust is a trusted, ready-to-use insecticide dust that protects homes, lawns, and gardens from over 150 common pests without harming plants.
01/10/26
Sevin Insect Killer Dust, manufactured by GardenTech, is a powerful, instant control insecticidal dust that with a simple shake will control over 150 listed pests on contact while keeping residential flowers, lawn, and garden safe and vibrant.
The formula is engineered to protect your plants without harming the foliage, giving you the confidence to maintain the beauty of your foliage while keeping pests at bay. It works by using bifenthrin, a powerful synthetic pyrethroid that kills pests like ants, beetles, flea beetles, ticks, and caterpillars that come into contact with treated surfaces. Bifenthrin targets their nervous systems, paralyzing and killing them quickly.
Sevin Insect Killer Dust provides fast-acting, reliable, and safe insect control that protects residential ornamentals, crops, and the perimeter of homes from over 150 listed pests. Whether you’re a home gardener or a professional landscaper, this product provides the peace of mind and performance you need to enjoy healthy, vibrant plants all season long.
Tools Needed
No additional tools are needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Sevin Insect Killer Dust to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiplying them together (length X width = square footage). For perimeter applications, ornamentals, and lawns, use 8 oz. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. To treat home gardens vegetables and small fruits, apply 1 pound per 500 sq. ft. Do not apply more than 4.5 pounds of product per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Step 2: Open the lid and remove the seal beneath it.
- Step 3: For home perimeter applications, lightly dust a band 3 to 4 inches wide around the outside foundation wall of the home. For lawns, sprinkle a thin, uniform layer of dust on the grass. For ornamentals and vegetables, place a thin, uniform layer of dust on both upper and lower sides of leaves, stems, and flowers.
Where to Use
Sevin Insect Killer Dust can be used around homes, lawns, ornamentals, flowers, and listed home garden vegetables and small fruit.
When to Use
Apply at the first sign of insect damage for the most effective control.
Avoid applications when rainfall is expected to occur within the next 24 hours of application.
