| Back to top Q : How does Sevin control insects? |
||

As with any chemical, you need to store Sevin out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area. Keep Sevin away from any heat sources such as a heater of dryer to prevent heating and melting of the container. Store the products at room temperature at all times. If the product does freeze or boil, do not use the product again. We cannot guarantee that the product will work because of the alteration of the chemical due to the extreme temperature changes. Store Sevin in its original container or packaging. |
