Pros: Seven Dust does kill everything that you purchased it to kill, plus some.
Cons: It kills creatures that you want to protect.
It is easier for you to inhale also.
The Bottom Line: Please try to find a liquid or granulated form that is safer for our beneficial insects in the garden. Also, apply at dusk, so that honey bees will not affected.

| emory5100's Full Review: Sevin-10 Bug Killer Dust |
Yes, Seven Dust wipes out all of your garden pests.
It also kills all of the benficial insects in the garden, like honey bees. Not just individual bees, but entire colonies are killed. Honey Bees, and many other bees, have hairy bodies that attract and collect pollen grains from flowering plants. The bees take these back to their nest/colony to store for future feeding of their brood & themselves. Seven Dust is carried back to the colony just like pollen, & the entire colony is then poisoned.
Bees are incredibly important to the sustainability of the human race in developed countries. At least one third of the food on your dinner plate is the result of pollination. Honey Bees also help your flowers reproduce and your fruit/vegetable garden. Blackberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and blueberries are just a few garden plants that need pollination to produce your "homegrown" goodies.
By now, most of you have heard about Colony Collapse Disorder. Chemicals and pesticides such as Seven Dust are certainly contributing factors here. The bees are killed or weakened by all of the treatments that humans add to the garden/trees.
If you must treat your garden, please do so in the evenings when most bees have retired for the night. Also, try to use liquids that will be dry by morning. Another option is granulated pesticides. The larger size helps prevent honey bees from accidently carrying that back to the colony.
Thank you-
