Apparently Seven is the only treatment for it and he said it was now only available in liquid form, which is expensive for this use. Would need to know for what application was referring to--if was ag application, Sevin isn't generally used at all so presume must have been for garden/turf/lawn applications. This was for lawn use. He also said that Sevin was far too expensive for ag use. Again, afaik, Sevin is still a non-RUP (restricted-use pesticide) easily obtained at any retail outlet. That's not what he said. He did talk like it was a recent thing, though. For ag applications, it'll depend on whether they're army worms or army cutworms; they're similar name but different species and life cycles. http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/pests/e830w.htm Cutworms can be an especial a problem in winter wheat and other cereal grains...they're one of our biggest worries every spring about what level of infestations we'll see. https://sites.aces.edu/group/homegro...4-85a79a4b328f |

Must be so recent that Ace hasn't heard of it yet nor did a quick google return a hit about EPA and Sevin which would normally be expected to be about the most prominent topic to come up if it were a recent development... I suppose it could be something local or a pending thing, but it surely doesn't appear to be so at the moment afaict... https://sites.aces.edu/group/homegro...4-85a79a4b328f Which lists Sevin dust, too. It does, but the guy was on the radio in the last couple of weeks (he was talking about the Armyworms Friday, but don't remember the Sevin issue being brought up) saying that it is no longer available. It apparently is a very recent thing. Current supplies are allowed to be sold. |

Perhaps when we're out later I'll look to see if it's on the shelves. |

I live in North Florida. There is a yellow jacket bee hive in a big clump of pampass grass (sawgrass), that I can't get rid of. I have used the long-shot Black Flag sprays, using a total of (3 ) 18 oz cans at one time, but I cannot get rid of the nest. The bees come right back to it. I used the long-shot spray method because of the danger of getting too close, but even that was risky, as I had to fight off many bees with the spray, as they were coming after me. My wife got stung 8 times while she was working near this spot, and that is how we first learned of it... Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can get rid of this nest ? The pampas grass is quite large, and I cannot see the actual nest, but dozens and dozens of bees continue to fly in and out of the plant, so I know it is in there somewhere. Please help !!! Thank you. James Tennis racket, you march to the den of death and dare them to come at you knowing "to the victor goes the spoils". Wear something with a tight collar they fight dirty when they go down your shirt. |

There is a law that says you can't use fire to get rid of yellow jackets??? You don't use enough gasoline to fill a well. A quart or so is generally all it will take but I have seen a nest that was over 5 ft deep. Why light it? When you pour the gas down the hole, the fumes will displace the air, so the fire won't go down the hole. The soil will keep the heat away from the nest. I have found that the fumes from a tablespoon of gasoline will kill a nest. I imagine soil organisms can soon break down that small amount. |

In addition, the new state licensed applicators' information packet I just received last month that I just looked at for to make certain says nothing regarding Sevin and there's been no mention of it in any notices or updates I've received this crop year regarding it, either. Those generally are front page as they are generic for all licensed applicators in the State, not just ag producers like me... One would have to know precisely what product for what application in what jurisdiction the report was referring to--it could be a municipal ban for lawn use in a local area or something but I'm quite certain it's not EPA-related nor national. Or, he could just have his facts wrong or misspoke in an interview meaning to refer to another product when his statement made it sound as though it was Sevin. Or, any of a limitless other possibilities, but I'm sure it's not an EPA mandate. -- http://www.epa.gov/EPA-PEST/2009/March/Day-18/p5695.htm Last year, manufacturers of Sevin and other carbaryl products voluntarily requested that the EPA terminate lots of uses for the stuff. The EPA didn't say why. Maybe the manufacturers want to open up a market for something at ten times the price. |

Perhaps their generation notices that are pretty clearly auto-generated aren't geared to find stuff that is voluntarily delisted application instead of EPA-mandated. There's a semi-annual review coming up for long; if I think of it I'll ask about it. Meanwhile, guess best stock up if can still find some on shelves for garden altho it is of no concern for lack thereof for the farm operation. -- |
