How long does it need to dry for to be effective? Also, can this be used on the small vehicle tiles around the swimming pool? I'm concerned that some runoff will get in the pool before it dries. Thoughts?
You can use Permethrin SFR 36.8% for control of crawling and flying insects in your lawn as long as you do not apply it in a way that would allow for runoff or overspray into the pool. So you should not spray on a concrete pool deck or on tiling next to the pool.
You may consider keeping a can of Wasp Freeze on hand to spray stinging insects on contact when you see them (do not use over the water). Some folks have also been known to use a badminton racket, provided they have good aim.
If you have bees drinking from a freshwater pool, the you may also consider created another water source for the insects farther out and more toward a covered area for them. Just be mindful it's there and keep the water fresh so you don't create a mosquito habitat.
