Answers:    Sevin dust will not affect leaf miners in the bit.You simply verbs the leaves as you see them the best you can..The insecticides to use to control them are for control of the adult ..not the larvae within the leafs ..I have studied over thjis for years..there is a chemicals approaching isotex that help, but you use it on NOTHING that you are going to eat...Leaf minors you hold to catch the adultas before they lay thier eggs surrounded by the leafs..check out this link..They will laugh at sevin dust..
