I am raising pigs and plan on putting them in a new area that is mixed woodlands. The area is teaming with ticks so I was going to spray the area before moving them with permethrin. Will it be safe to allow them into this area to graze, etc. How long after spraying? Also if I want to dip or apply permethrin to the pigs what would be the correct concentration?
Permethrin SFR can be used in animal housing areas containing swine and for use on swine. Per the product label, you would use 4 oz in 25 gallons of water to treat 50-100 head of swine, and thoroughly wet or dip animals including ears. You must allow 5 days between the last treatment and slaughter. Permethrin SFR is not labeled for use on grazing areas. For this treatment, we would recommend Essentria All Purpose Insecticide.
