A: It is never a good idea to mix two different chemicals together at one time. You can apply back-to-back treatments, just take into consideration that if you are applying two liquid products to a plant, the first application will be washed away. In this case, it would be best to treat the most important problem first, wait about a week, and apply the second chemical. |

A: When storing any Sevin formulation, follow these guidelines:
- As with any chemical, you need to store Sevin out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.

- Store Sevin in its original container or packaging.
