    Q
    Can Martins Permethrin 10% be used on fruit trees to control Peach Tree borers?
    A
    Martins Permethrin is not labeled for use on fruit trees. You can use a product that contains permethrin but it must be labeled for use on non bearing edible vegetation such as Tengard SFR. Unfortunately once the beetles have already infested the bark of a peach tree there are not any viable treatment options. In cases of infestation the general recommendation is to simply protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use.

  • Asked by John from Hico, Texas
    06/04/2013
    Q
    Can this product Martins Permethrin 10% be used in 55 gallon spray systems?
    A
    The label states that if using in a for or misting system for mosquitoes, flies and gnats to dilute at the rate of 1 quart of Martins permethrin per 25 gallons of water. So for 55 gallons you would use roughly 70 ounces of solution. However it does not specifically state on the label the use of a 55 gallon drum misting system so you may still want to check with the manufacturer to make sure it is okay for this type of application. You can reach Control Solutions at 1-281-892-2500.

    Q
    Can I spray the Martins Permethrin 10% on human bedding (mattresses) and carpet?
    We have been afflicted with the scabies mite and need to get rid of it.
    A
    This product cannot be used on mattresses and can only be used as a light spray on carpets for flea or beetle control indoors. Scabies mites do not infest the home, they are a dermal(skin) problem that must be addressed by a dematologist and the creams or medicines they prescribe. There are not products for scabies mites on mattresses because they do not live on those surfaces. If you are looking for something to spray on the surface as a "just in case" contact kill, you could use Sterifab. All other treatment of scabies will be administered by doctors.

  • Asked by Amanda from Indianapolis, In
    06/19/2014
    Q
    Will Martins Permethrin 10% kill carpet beetles in the car? And, is it safe for children after it dries?
    A
    We recommend that you get a proper identification of the beetle. It would be extremely odd to have carpet beetles in your car and in your office because they must have a food source that is of animal origin to survive and most cars and business offices do not have such a source. You should collect several samples of the insect and contact your local cooperative extension office to get an insect identification. Starting a treatment program without knowing exactly what you are dealing with is likely to lead to a treatment failure. Once you have a proper identification we would be happy to help advise you of the correct treatment.

    Q
    Can Martin's Permethrin 10% be used for thermal fogging with diesel?
    A
    Martin's Permethrin 10% is not labeled to be used in a fogger.

    If you are looking for something to use in a thermal fogger to treat for various pests, such as mosquitoes, spiders, ants, etc., we would recommend using ULD BP-100. It is an oil based product that can be poured directly into the thermal fogger and does not need to be diluted.
