Liquid Sevin and Sevin Dust have been used for decades. Growing up on a cattle ranch in Southern California, it was the dust of choice to run our cattle through (dispensing hoop) to protect them from pests-you would be shocked and amazed to see how much pain a pest infested cow or steer endures without it.

The key is: READ and FOLLOW label directions

Used correctly, Sevin in either form is one of the safest (and most reliable) pesticides on the market.

I do not work for the company or any of its subsidiaries. I've just always found it to be the least dangerous, and the most effective thing out there.

Getting Rid of Fleas in Your Yard

I just completely flea treated my house, only to find that my yard has fleas. Does anybody know of any household products I could use to get rid of them as money is tight. I just spent a fortune on flea products.

If you can squeeze out the money, liquid Sevin is the best flea killer for in and out of doors. Apply it on the interior perimeter (baseboards, cabinet backs) and then mix another canister and go right out to apply another round on the exterior perimeter of the house (along the foundation).

It can (and should be for maximum control) applied to carpets and floors inside the house, and to the lawn and beds outside. Use the 'fan' nozzle sprayer tip.

Follow the label directions for application strengths and timing, it needs to be reapplied after a rain or other wet weather event.

It is well worth the money, you end up saving money if you follow the directions carefully. It is safe if used as directed, and after about a month you'll have a flea free home, garden, pet, and people. :)
