Sevin SL, manufactured by Bayer, is a liquid broad-spectrum insecticide that provides residual control for up to 4 weeks of protection from insects and eliminates pests immediately upon contact.

This liquid product contains the active ingredient carbaryl 43.0%, which works to constrict the breath muscles of insects, reducing their oxygen intake and leading to the pest's death.

Sevin SL is an easy-to-use product that readily blooms in the spray tank during application to ensure a wide discharge onto the leaf surfaces of targeted plants.

Tools Needed

You may apply using a sprinkler irrigation system that has a center pivot and solid set. For spot treatments, you will need to use a handheld pump sprayer.

Do not apply by hand, spoon, shaker can, backpack spreaders (front and back mounted), power backpack sprayers, tree injection, and all handheld foggers.

How to Use

Spraying Turf

  • Step 1: Determine how much Sevin SL to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet and multiply them together (length X width = square footage). To find acreage, divide the square footage of the treatment area by one acre (square footage / 43,560 = acreage). Depending on the pest, you will want to use between 1 1/2 to 6 oz. of Sevin SL per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. or 1 to 8 quarts of product per 100 gallons of water per acre of turfgrass. Broadcast applications to turfgrasses may only be made on golf courses, sod farms, cemeteries, and commercial landscapes. Applications to residential turfs may only be performed as a spot treatment. Refer to the label for specific application rates and restrictions for other locations.
  • Step 2: Fill the tank of your handheld pump sprayer with half the amount of water, then slowly add the required amount of Sevin SL and the remaining volume of water. Close the sprayer tank lid and continually shake until the solution is well-mixed.
  • Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of the leaf surfaces until wet, but not to the point of run-off. Wait until 24 hours after application before watering treated areas or foliage. White grub and European Crane Fly treatments may be watered immediately after spray application.

Where to Use

Sevin SL is ideal for Ornamental Trees and Plants, Turfgrass, Brassica (Cole) Leafy Vegetable Crops, Fruiting Vegetables, Leafy Vegetables, Pasture, and Grasses Grown for Seed, Rangeland, Forested Areas and Rangeland Trees, Noncropland (Conservation Reserve Program; Wasteland; Right-of-Way; Hedgerows, Ditchbanks; Roadsides), Around Building Perimeters, Tree Fruit Crops (Citrus Fruits; Olives; Pome Fruits; Stone Fruits), and Tree Nut Crops (Pistachios; Tree Nuts).

When to Use

Use when pest activity is beginning or has become a nuisance on listed plants. For best results, apply on days when wind speeds are low, and rainfall is not predicted for 24 hours after application to help minimize drift.

Do not apply this product when targeted crops, plants, or weeds are in bloom.

Safety Information

Sevin SL is safe to use around children or pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying this product.

Do not allow children, pets, and other individuals to enter treated areas until 24 hours have passed after application.

For turfgrass sites, the restricted entry interval is 18 days for ornamentals grown for cuttings (cut flowers or cut foliage) where production is in outdoor areas and where average annual rainfall is less than 25 inches a year. The restricted entry interval for olives is 3 days.

Special Considerations

This product will only eliminate pests that are present at the time of application and directly contacted by the product.
