Easy-to-use Sevin® Insect Killer Granules kill more than 100 insect pests by contact in lawns, home perimeters, and ornamental and edible gardens. Broadcast the granules at recommended rates to provide uniform coverage, and then water thoroughly to release the active ingredient. The granules reach insect pests where they hide, above and below the surface, and keep on killing pests for up to three months.
