Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control 38% Permethrin is not labeled for use on vegetables so we cannot advise on rates for that use nor would we recommend you apply it to anything edible.

Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control 38% Permethrin should only be applied outdoors. If you have activity indoors, we would recommend using the Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit.

Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin is labeled for subterranean termites. However, a more effective method would be to do a trench around the perimeter of your home as it will only kill the termites that contact the treated soil. We recommend that you use a non-repellent product such as Termidor SC for a termite barrier. Termidor SC is the top termite product on the market. Termidor is completely undetectable by termites and once termites touch it they contact, ingest and spread the termiticide until it eliminates the entire colony. It will last 10 years or more in the soil. For more information on termite treatments, please read our 'How to Perform a Termite Treament Article'.

You could use Onslaught Insecticide around and inside barns and chicken coops to treat where flies rest and to treat the ground for fleas. We also recommend adding NyGuard IGR insect growth regulator for flea control. You can apply these products while the animals are not present, and they can return once the application is dry. Keep in mind that for the best fly control, you will likely need to use a combination of insecticides, bait, traps, and on-animal treatments for biting flies. We also recommend that you inspect for rodent issues in the case of fleas since rats and mice can bring parasites into a barn.
