    Q
    Can Martins Permethrin 10% be used on luggage in a dilution of .50%
    A
    Martins Permethrin 10% is not labeled to be used on luggage. If Bed Bugs are your concern, we do have a few travel items that may be sprayed on luggage to kill and repel bed bugs. One of our most popular luggage spray is the Rest Easy Bed Bug Spray.

    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.

    Q
    Will Martins Permethrin 10% work for Scabies?
    I would like to spray all the furniture, walls, beds etc in multiple rooms. will that be ok? will it ruin the paint or wallpaper? how long after spraying will the room need to remain unused? what is the dilution ratio for that? (I know there is dilution info on the packaging but i need to know how much to purchase....)
    A
    Martins Permethrin 10% is not labeled to treat scabies nor is it labeled to be used on furniture or beds and they do not live on those surfaces.  Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. 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.   You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything on furniture though treating the home is usually not necessary.

  • 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)?
    A
    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.

    Q
    when you spray cattle how long do you have to wait till you can slaughter them for human consumption?
    A
    The Martins Permethrin 10% doesn't specifically state on its label a time frame for cattle being sent to slaughter, it only refers to poultry and swine. The time frame for those animals is 5 days since your last spray before they can be sent for slaughter so to be on the safe side we would suggest the same for your cattle.
