OK, I went back to Amazon, and it shows two "Sevin" containers, and the headline reads Carbaryl 5%. BUT when you read down further under "Active Ingredients" it says Bifenthrin. Doesn't say anything about Carbaryl. I ordered some of the Southern Ag stuff for $17.99 and it definitely says 5% Carbaryl on the label. I have plenty of the Bifenthrin stuff, and when I get the Carbaryl, I will treat the houses with BOTH at the same time.

Conrad, you are correct. The Sevin on Amazon is an error. I’m also beginning to think that the southern ag carbaryl is some kind of an error also. Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow and it hasn’t even shipped. I’m beginning to think I’m going to get an email from Amazon tomorrow, saying “sorry, this item is no longer available “… i hope I’m wrong, but I’m beginning to think this may be a case of “too good to be true”… anyway I will know by tomorrow night. Fingers crossed!

Conrad. Wanted to update. I just got an email from Amazon that the southern ag carbaryl has shipped. Great news!

My order hasn't shipped yet, but it says it should arrive June 21. I thought I would order mine before it goes out of stock, because it might not be available next year.Martintown33 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 3:22 pmConrad. Wanted to update.

2021 - Got 2 eggs. HOSPs poked holes in them. Commence HOSP reduction
2022 - Off to a good start, tree swallows took over and Martins left
2023 - Off to a good start, Martin population dwindled and they eventually left
2024 - New standalone pole and gourd rack. 1 nest, 4 eggs, none hatched
2025 - 9 nests, 37 eggs, 23 hatched, 19 fledged!
We have eggs that could potentially hatch in 2 days, but have seen no mite activity yet. So tonight we dusted the inside of the gourds with the Gard star garden and poultry dust and sprayed the outside of all gourds and inside of caps with the elector psp. We’ll report back how it goes.
