Sevin 100547232 Insect Killer Ready to Use 32 oz, White Label

Used this summer of 2025 when my roses became infested with Japanese beetles. This stuff works immediately and kills the insects but when spraying directly on the roses, but did not inhibit them from returning. Had to keep on top of it. I plan to spray in the mulch surrounding the plants to inhibit beetle grubs from growing/hatching.

As an avid gardener for years I can't go through a summer in south central Mississippi without this. I order from here because it's the best price. It works amazingly fast and saves my flowers and tomatos.

It did its job, but this product particularly is probably made more for a garden. I tried to use it on bushes because they were bugs killing them. It did also work on the bushes. But the bottle made it hard to spray.

I love seven dust spray. I use it around the house for my plants to kill gnats. I’ve been able to use it around my animals and children as long as they aren’t around it while it’s wet. Kills gnats and all the other flying bugs. It does have a smell when you use it, but it quickly goes away once dry. The model does get clogged if you don’t use it after a few months.

In many places Sevin is banned, but it does the trick.

The product itself is fine, though not as effective as older formulas. Where this product really fails (and causing many of its 1 star reviews & returns) is the assembly instructions on the 1 gal bottle are not clear. I have read other reviews with complaints of the sprayer not working. I now completely understand what the issue is. The assembly instructions (instructions are online only, i could not find anything on the bottle itself) simply say to plug the sprayer into the bottle, switch sprayer head to the fan position and spray. They are missing two important steps. #1. Upon opening the package the feeding tube between the sprayer head and the bottle appears to only be about 6 inches long. The instructions fail to tell the user that the majority of the tube is inside the sprayer head. You have to pull this out before use. Which results in almost 2' feet of tubing. Without it extended, the tubing is kinked inside the sprayer head and will not pump the solution out of the bottle. #2 There is a black valve with two positions on the bottle where the hose attaches labled "Open" & "Closed". The valve must be in the "Open" position for use and the "Closed" position for storage. It will leak if tipped over while in the "Open" position and will not feed the solution to the sprayer head if left in the "Closed" position. This all took a lot of time, online research, frustration, and worn out fingers from trying to get the solution to feed to the sprayer head, which could have easily been avoided with the above instructions included ON THE BOTTLE.

Works as it should

This stuff works really well. Just don’t rely on using the sprayer. I never could get the sprayer to work. I wound up getting a pump sprayer and putting it in that to use it. I would buy it without the sprayer in the future.

I applied it twice in my garden, and the mole crickets and ants are still alive and eating as well as small flies and small spiders. Useless product
