Sevin dust update

I think I have found the facts: If I can decipher the government BS, this seems to authorize certain Sevin uses to be terminated and Sevin dust existing supplies cannot be sold after April 17, 2011.

My interpretation of that was that Sevin in it's various forms, brands, etc can be sold as is (or more so- as labelled) until the date you mentioned then only the re- labelled products with restricted uses can be sold- no?
Thanks for the link it is a lot of garble for sure. Keystonepaul

That is plausible. Your guess is as good as mine.

I guess the only thing we can say for sure is that the EPA doesn't like you to put Sevin on your chickens.

O.K., call me late and stupid-what will we use?

i talked to the makers of Sevin. they had to remove the poultry use of sevin from sevin 5% labels because of CONSUMERS misuse. overuse caused some poultry deaths and vet's called for the company to no longer label it as a poultry dust.

it will not be pulled from shelves and the 10% that was discontinued may actually be brought back. it was discontinued because the company thought it was no longer a popular product. they are rethinking that decision.
