Martins Permethrin 10% does not advise or mention tank mixing on the product label therefore we would recommend doing a small compatibility test in a glass jar first to see if these two products are compatible. The product label for Roundup QuickPro gives instructions for tank mixing on page 2 in Section 6.1 and advises the same compatibility test be done before mixing in a larger tank quantity.

The best way to control booklice is by lowering the humidity in the infested areas which in turn will help eliminate the mold and fungus these insects need to survive. Infested furniture and carpeting should be thoroughly steam cleaned and vacuumed. You can spray your furniture with Sterifab to get rid of any lingering insects. Cracks and crevices around baseboards, door frames, window frames and other harborage areas can safely be treated with Cy-Kick Aerosol. You can also follow up with a dusting of Cimexa Dust to help eliminate these pests in carpet and in cracks and crevices around the home. You cannot spray anything on books so for those we recommend you find a way to heat treat them with a device like the Packtite or you can seal them loosely into bins with Nuvan Prostrips.
