    After dilution Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin only possesses a large enough amount of active ingredient to kill small insects. After the area has dried it should not harm your pets. As long as they are not "grazing" like a horse would, there should be no threat. You can refer to the MSDS for toxicology information about 38-Plus.

    Q
    How do I mix Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin for scorpions?
    I have been getting scorpions in my home. Several products seem to kill them but not wipe them out. I have just purchased Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin and need to know about best ratio for a gallon of water.
    A

    Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin  should be mixed at 0.8 fluid ounces per gallon of water. While you could use the Hi-Yield 38 Plus for scorpion control, a better option would be something that sits on the surface better and lasts longer. Cy-Kick CS and Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion spray are the two best options for scorpion control. Both products are easy to mix with water and spray around the home. Not only will they kill scorpions, but will also kill all the other insects present around your home that they are feeding on. Since scorpions have thicker skin, you will need to spray a wider barrier around your home. Spray 2-3 feet up on the side and a minimum of 6 feet out on the ground. Make sure to also spray other entry points of the home like where wires/pipes enter the house, window frames and door frames.

    Q
    How do I mix Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin to treat mango trees with termites?
    A

    Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin should only be applied to non-edible trees. It is not labeled for any fruit tree applications.

    Termites do not attack live, healthy trees. If the tree has been damaged by termites it would be advisable to remove the tree and perform a liquid termite soil treatment with Termidor SC to ensure subterranean termites to not find a food source inside of your home. Please take a few minutes to read our article How to Perform a Termite Treatment which will explain how to do the treatment in laymens terms and also explain any needed equipment. Most folks find that they only need a 5 gallon bucket and perhaps a drill in some situations. You should follow the Termidor product label and you should mix Termidor with water as specified. No special equipment is needed to diltute Termidor because it is a water based product and readily mixes with water.

    Q
    If your dog eat some grass sprayed with Hi Yield 38 Plus can it poison them?
    A

    Once dry, Hi Yield 38 Plus will not be harmful to your dog if they eat the grass that was sprayed.  The small amount of active ingredient that is left behind is only enough to harm a small insect and would have to be ingested in large quantities to harm a dog.

    03/08/2016
    Q
    How much Hi Yield 38 Plus Insect Control per gallon of water do I need to treat infestation of termites?
    A

    You would mix 1.6 fl oz of Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin with 1 gallon of water to make a 0.5% spray solution to treat active infestations only.  Please be aware that while labeled for termites, it will only kill the termites that are in the treated area or that are sprayed directly and would be a good preventative for them.  Termidor SC is a much better product that will help to eliminate the colony of subterranean termites and also be a great preventative when used in a trench around a home.

    Q
    Is Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control safe for ground well water?
    We live in the country and ground water is our water source. Will the Hi-Yield soak into the ground water making it unsafe to drink or water plants with?

    You should not apply Hi-Yield 38-Plus in a way that would directly contaminate a well or cistern. It would otherwise be safe to use on the property in accordance with the product label. You could use this product for perimeter pest treatment on your property, however the product label does exclude using Hi-Yield 38-Plus for termite treatments on properties with a well or cistern.

    No The Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin is not labeled to use for bed bugs. It is ONLY for Outdoor Residential use: outdoor areas, ornamentals, lawns, trees, shrubs, vines, perimeter treatments, ornamental foliage, ornamental flowering plants, conifers, woody non-edible ornamentals, herbaceous non-edible ornamentals. Please take a few moments to look through our Bed Bug Guides to better assist you in what products to purchase. We strongly recommend that you use a variety of methods and products to insure bed bugs are eliminated from infested areas. Using only one product or method will usually NOT be enough to completely eliminate a bed bug infestation as bed bugs can become resistant to products and it is also possible for them to avoid areas that have been treated with certain products.
