Permethrin SFR can be applied to interior plantscapes, and landscape ornamental gardens including parks, lawns and grounds.

Flea infestation

Had a major flea infestation, probably wasted 2 weeks trying to get control of the problem with store products, don't waste your time with local store killers. Found do my own pest control, purchased permethrin and an igr and immediately got control of the situation. With a major infestation, don't be surprised if you have to make several applications over a 2 week period and thats due to the flea life cycle, but this stuff is the best and a local exterminator agreed.

My dog had ticks, so I mixed and sprayed per instructions mixed at 1/4 fl.oz per pint ... didn't do squat, so I decided to test on live ticks, and was able to verify out of 10 ticks 9 survived for more than 1 hour at the the rated concentration. Increased the dosage and tested again with double , but it did not kill all 10 ticks until I mixed 5/8 fl.oz to each pint. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I am going back to Talstar

Japanese Beetles
By Hildegard on 07/16/2010
My yard had literally thousand of beetles this year. In my 50 years of gardening I never encountered any until last year. They loved the Crepe Myrtles, Virginia creeper, Pussy Willow, blooms on the Oak Hydrangea, and I even had them on the Echinacea petals and inside the Day lily blossoms. Permethrin SFR, just 10 cc per gallon of water had them eliminated within 2 days. There are just a few stragglers now and in the last few days. Doing it myself saved me much money, thank you for making it available to the private consumer. Directions must be followed to avoid damage to plants and/or pets. I had no unwanted results this way.

Great Product
By Daniel on 09/26/2010
I ordered the Permethrin after a little online research. It worked very well. I have no signs of fire ants all along my fence line or any more of those crazy Rasberry Ants either.....all after one application. As for domyownpestcontrol.com, they shipped the product as advertised in a very timely manner. I will definitely do business with them again.

Great Value---Quick Shipping
By Jason on 09/12/2011

Bought for a tick infestation in Miami, Florida. Product is highly concentrated, so it's very economical for use with a hose sprayer for treating lawn. Seemed to be effective, particularly when combined with Preventic collars on the dogs. Ordering was easy and they shipped very quickly.

We need to knock down a heavy chicken mite infestation and need to treat the chickens ,coops and yard. Can we dip the chickens and if we use a dialed hose sprayer what would we put it on to spray the yard?

It cannot be used a dip only as instructed on the product label directly on chickens and around poultry house.

Commercial use on U Pick Hybrid Blackberry bushes infected with Cane Borers heavily
Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be used on any type of edibles. You can view our Edible Garden Products Here. Be sure to consult the product labels for approved uses and plants.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not directly labeled for noseeums. Bifen IT is a very popular product to apply outdoors to a yard for noseeums. We also have a great article for them here.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be used on corn. Monterey Bug Buster-O would be a better option. Pyrethrins will degrade very rapidly in the sunlight. To make sure of getting the best performance, total coverage of the plant is most important.
Permethrin is not systemic so if I apply it to the soil around fruit trees it will not get absorbed into the tree thru the root system. Therefore the fruit is safe for consumption……Yes or No?
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not a systemic product and is only labeled to be used on specific fruit trees in residential sites only. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions on fruit trees and time to harvest after application.
Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for roaches and will kill those that contact a treated area.
My garden is 60 square feet. I would like to try Permethrin this year. I am getting mixed advice. Dust and cover soil, liquid, percentage of product to use? I would like to hear your advice and how and what to use. Thank you
The Permethrin SFR 36.8% that you are asking about cannot be shipped into the state of NY without a pest control license to purchase it. Permethrin also would not be recommended as the best option for caterpillars or worms in the soil nor is it labeled to be used on edible crops. Most caterpillar control comes from spraying the foliage of the plants they may try to ingest or damage during the first signs of insect activity during the season. A popular choice for this would be Southern Ag Thuricide.
According to the Permethrin SFR 36.8% product label, you may spray 4 fl oz to 10 gallons of water. For severe infestation, it is permissible to use 4 fl oz to 4 gallons.
When treating poultry directly: Use 1-4 fl oz in 3 3/4 gallons water, which should treat roughly 375 birds. Use 1 gallon of coarse spray per 100 birds."

Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled to eradicate carpenter bees that land on the treated surfaces. We suggest also using an insecticide dust applied with a duster to lightly dust the holes the have bored.
Carpenter Bee Control Article
I sprayed flea spray with Permethrin SFR 36.8% in it in one side of the basement. Not very close to the furnace. But I started to worry.
The Label states that Permethrin SFR 36.8% is safe for indoor use. Once the product dries, and as long as you didn't spray the furnace directly, it is safe.
