I buy and use this product every year.
Of course I am cautious with this and any product I use that has instructions for its use. I do wear my gloves, a mask and long sleeve shirts and long pants. Sevin dust is the only product I have found that keeps Japanese Beetles and other plant destroying bugs from killing my beautiful spring and summer gardens.

    Size of container adding to pollution
    Size of container misleading as to quantity of procduct. The container was less than half full although probably is 1 lb net weight as shown. Could do more in reducing pollution. The Sevin powder worked miracles though on an underground colony of yellow jackets that I had tried burning out and drowning with dish detergent which only succeeded in me being stung several times.

    Slowly working
    I have had a big problem with grasshoppers and chiggers in my garden this year, and my plants were being eaten up by grasshoppers! I used the garden tech Sevin insect killer dust on all of my affected plants and I am seeing a lot less grasshopper damage to my plants! I have applied it about 3 times in the past 2 weeks and am not seeing additional damage! As far as I am concerned it works for grasshoppers but not sure about the chiggers. I will continue to use this product. I used in my vegetable garden and flower garden.

    Keeps Beetles off Roses
    I use this to keep Japanese Beetles off my roses. In the past, I've used Neem oil, Bayer 4 in 1, and Spectracide. None worked at all. I would pull Beetles off and spray them. Some did nothing while others it took 20 minutes before it finally started slowing them down. I've also tried traps which did nothing to help my roses. So far, Savin has worked much better than all else I've tried.

    Great for my Garden!
    I have so many plants that I am growing in my garden, mostly vegetables and some fruit. I have a lot of bugs that try to eat my plants and I've been looking for some to use that won't hurt my delicious yummy food, while still protecting them from the bugs! I was especially excited to try GardenTech Sevin Insect Killer Dust as it does what I am looking for! I have to say I've been using it for about a week and it has made such a big difference in the bugs on my plants! I would really recommend this to any and all gardeners!

    Ready to Use Insect Killer Dust
    I spent much of the Spring planting many new flowers, shrubs, and tomatoes. I also have existing fruit trees, grape vines, and other perennials around the yard that need protection. At the first sign of chewing, I sprinkle this ready to use product directly on my plants. I love the convenience of no mixing, no measuring, no water required, and the shaker can that is ready to go. It is a poison so be sure to wear gloves and avoid using on a windy day! Half the time I do not know what has been eating my plants but I do know this product has been highly effective at keeping the all pest types at bay. I will definitely keep this product on hand all summer long to maximize my harvests and blooms. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review, but all opinions are completely my own.

    Long time garden product
    The Sevin dust is a wonderful bug blocker for my garden. I use it as needed. (have used this product for years) The Sevin liquid based product though I would rate a 3 of 5 at best.

    East product to use
    I chose to use my Sevin product on my bleeding heart bush in my front yard. It is very easy to use, one application and could be re-applied if necessary. I would definitely recommend this product as it is affordable and super simple to use. It not only is good for plants, but also for vegetables which is an added bonus.

    Plant saver!
    I planted some cabbages this spring and this Sevin powder saved my vegetables from bugs eating my brassica plants! I highly suggest using this late in the afternoon when the bees are gone for the day and then rinse the plant in the morning or cover your plants with nettings where bees can't get through. I am very satisfied with this product. It last a long time and it's definitely a staple in my garden.

    helps keep bugs away
    Sevin-5 Ready-To-Use 5% Dust comes in a shaker container. The lid screws off easily, but the pop top to shake it out is hard to get open. There is a cover over the shaker holes, but it isn't sealed on the inside, so when I unscrewed the lid some dust poured out. I had to use a twig to push the paper cover out of the lid. Once I got past the packaging, the dust is very fine and shakes out easily. I was able to apply this to the dirt around my plants. I have not noticed any bugs, but it is early in the season so only more time will tell. I plan to continue applications to keep the bugs away. Excluding design flaw the product itself seems to be working well so I left it at 5 stars. I won't really know more until the end of the growing season when I remove the dead plants from the pots because that is when I find if there are grubs in the dirt or not, but so far so good. I like that this covers so many different types of bugs in one product. I received a free product in exchange for my honest review.

    SEVIN Dust saved my tomatoes
    My tomato plants were loaded with ripening tomatoes when I discovered a sudden bug invasion (see photos). I had never seen a leaf legged bug and only noticed 2 or 3 on my plants at first so didn't pay much attention, but soon I began seeing groups of creepy big and little ones attaching themselves all over my tomatoes. I looked them up and discovered they were busy damaging my tomatoes and are hard to get rid of. The next morning I dusted my plants with Sevin dust. Several hours later I inspected and couldn't find any bugs except for a few dead stink bugs on the ground. The bugs were completely gone or dead, and I have been enjoying my garden tomatoes all summer. It has been a couple months now, and I have only seen two leaf legged bugs and one stink bug which I ran off with a small localized repeat application. I'm sure all my tomatoes would have been ruined by these aggressive bugs if I had not used the dust in time. I also use it on my roses and it works very well. TIP: I like to apply the Sevin dust with a hand crank duster (Dustin Mizer) so I can apply a very light consistent coating of dust all over the plants. It is less noticeable on the plants than when used straight out of the container it comes in. It's a very effective and economical way to use the dust. I only do this on a non windy day and I follow all recommended precautions.
