  • Asked by Shawn from Portageville Missouri
    12/22/2014
    Q
    How do i mix Permethrin 10% to kill bed bugs in my home?
    Their in my couch and its only a couple months old
    A

    Martins Permethrin 10% is NOT labeled for bedbugs. Please look at our Bed Bug Kits for all the necessary products to do a full treatment for bed bugs. It is recommended after you see evidence bed bugs are in your home that you treat completely to prevent further infestations. Bed Bugs can lay go up to 18 months without eating making it very likely for them to reappear.

    To treat your couch alone, we would recommend using Bedlam Aerosol spray in the tufts and folds of the couch and underside of the cushions.

    Please look at some of our Bed Bug Control Articles here.

  • Asked by Nolin from California
    09/22/2017
    Q
    Does Martins Permethrin 10% kill scabies in home or on person?
    A

    Martins Permethrin 10% cannot be used on humans or in residential areas to control scabies mites.  Scabies mites live only on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Treating the home is not needed with this particular pest as they do not live long off their host. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home for scabies is usually not necessary.

  • Asked by Chris from Caruthersville, Mo
    02/02/2016
    Q
    Could Martins Permethrin 10% and Exponent be mixed for mosquitoes in a backpack blower/mister?
    Or would Bifen IT be better with Exponent? I'm looking for the best product for my customers for mosquito control that is cost effective.
    A

    Martins Permethrin 10% or Bifen IT could be mixed with Exponent in a mister.  Bifen IT is actually the more popular product because it is known for being super gentle on plants. The key is to apply to the underside of leaves where the adults lay during the day.

  • Asked by Mr from Torrance,ca.
    03/20/2015
    Q
    Why is Martins Permethrin available for shipment to CA., however the item Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor is not. Why?
    Curious as to why one is available for CA. shipment and usage, when they both have the exact same active ingredient (10% permethrin)?

    It is a matter of registration.  The manufacturer of Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor Broad Use Insecticide with 10% Permethrin Insecticide has not registered it for use in the state of CA while Martins Permethrin 10% has been registered by the manufacturer.
