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

Permethrin SFR may also be used as a spot application in crawl spaces and indoors to carpeting, wood, tile, concrete or other structural building materials as a crack and crevice injection, or paint-on treatment. Please refer to label for specific use instructions.

    Flea infestation

    By Mark on 05/18/2012

    Verified Purchase

    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.

    ... hmmmm

    By J on 12/25/2015

    Verified Purchase

    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

    Expert ResponseExpert response:
    Please note that Permethrin is not a contact kill product. It can take 24-48 hours to kill in an insect after they have received a lethal dose of the product.

    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

    Verified Purchase

    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.

Sort Questions
Q
Is Permethrin SFR 36.8% the best product to use on sand gnats in my backyard?
A

Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for any type of biting gnat or biting midge (another name for sand gnats) and may not provide effective control. We would recommend choosing a product that is specifically labeled for gnats or midges such as Talstar P or Onslaught. Both of these products are labeled for biting gnats and midges and can be sprayed over the lawn. Flying insects are hard to control because they do not readily come into contact with the areas where you have sprayed the insecticide, so it important to spray areas where the tiny flies actually land or hang out.

Q
Is Permethrin SFR good for Japanese beetle control?

Japanese beetle season is close. I have flowering trees and bushes that are affected by them... a flowering plum that last year was ravaged by them. Is this the spray of choice? What are the hazards? Have a dog and child but the trees and shrubs are not in their area.

A
Permethrin SFR is a great choice for Japanese Beetle control. Be sure to use it at the highest concentration, avoiding the blooms if possible (may cause browing). Permethrin SFR may need to be applied once per month to avoid Japanese beetle damage. Pets and children need to be out of the area while the application is being done and they may return as soon as the application is dry. The Permethrin SFR product label and MSDS are available on our site for further product information.

Q
What product would be safe to use in a barn that houses horses and cats?

We have a 3 stall barn that we use to house 2 horses and 2 barn cats. The barn has a dirt floor and is a wooden structure. We are worried about what type of pest control we should use. Can you recommend some? We have treated carpenter bees and wasps using typical products since they are above the ground level of the animals. We also have Lesser Mealworm Beetle/Yellow Mealworm in some part of the barn.

A
We would recommend Permethrin SFR 36.8% for treatment around livestock and barns.  Permethrin SFR 36.8%, when used as directed on the product label, is safe to use directly on dogs and other animals (Do NOT apply to cats), barns and livestock areas. It is a concentrate you mix with water and apply using a hand pump sprayer.  Please reference the product label for further instructions and complete information.

Q
I live in Michigan with a yard that backs up to the woods. I have a big problem with mosquitoes.

Any suggestions? I am currently using Permethrin SFR.

A
Is the Permethrin SFR working well?  If so, we always recommend to stick with what works.  Once downside to Permethrin SFR is that it usually does not last very long outside, usually only a week or two.  We do have a product called Talstar, which is our most popular product for flea control and it will last for 30 days before needing to be reapplied.

Q
Can we use Permethrin SFR 36.8% for deer flies that bite?

We are having a problem with biting deer flies,and my son is very sensitive to their bites. He gets a huge welt and swelling. Is there also a cream with permethrin in it?

A
No. Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be used on your body. We only carry products that can be used on/in your home or yard. Permethrin SFR 36.8% will help control most insects that land on areas that have been sprayed such as your bushes, or lawn.

Q
Does Permethrin SFR kill army worms, and is it toxic to geese?
A
Permethrin SFR is labeled for army worms and will kill just about any insect.  We do not see how Permethrin SFR could be harmful to Geese.  It is only strong enough to kill small insects.  If it is safe for use around children and pets, we are confident that it would be safe for geese and water foul.

Q
Can Permethrin SFR 36.8% be used in a fogger?

Is this an effective product to use as a fogging compound in a propane fogger? If yes, is it ok to dilute this Permethrin product with mineral oil for use in the fogger, or is there something better to dilute it with than mineral oil? Thanks for your help!

A
We do not recommend using Permethrin SFR in a fogger. The actual product label does have recommendations for using it in a fogger indoors, but only in very limited situations.

Q
Will Cyfluthrin kill the sarcoptic mange mites inside and outside of the house?

I must find the source of the sarcoptic mites and kill them.

A
There are very few products that have sarcoptic mites or scabies mites listed on their product labels. You didn't mention if the mites are a problem on people or on animals, but the environmental treatment is pretty much the same. Wash and dry (high heat) all bedding and thoroughly vacuum all resting areas. Indoors you can use a product called Steri-Fab on all upholstered furniture, rugs and pet beds and resting areas. Outdoors you can use a product called Permethrin SFR on pet resting areas and other areas frequented by your pet. In most cases, it is not necessary to treat the outdoor environment unless it is frequented by animals such as stray dogs or foxes because sarcoptic mites cannot live very long off of the host animal (usually not more than 72 hours).

Q
Can Permethrin SFR be used to refill the commonly sold mosquito treatment agents that attach to a garden hose?

If so, how much product would you put into the bottle before topping of with water?

A
Hose end sprayers are all calibrated differently. For instance, the particular sprayer you have may be calibrated to spray 1 ounce of product per 1 gallon of water but another brand may be calibrated to spray 3 ounces of product per gallon of water. The problem with pre-filled hose end sprayers is that you have no way of knowing how it is calibrated. We recommend that you purchase a new hose end sprayer that is adjustable. We have a great model available on our website called the Chapin Liquid Hose End Sprayer Model 6005. Permethrin SFR is only labeled for mosquito control on livestock premises. A better product for mosquito control outdoors is Talstar P. Talstar P is gentle on vegetation where you will be spraying for mosquitoes and it will last up to one month for mosquito control. When using Talstar for mosquito control, you will use 1 oz of product per gallon of water.

Q
We have identified zimmerman pine moth, which is more effective the Permethrin or Bifenthrin?
A
Both permethrin and bifenthrin are synthetic pyrethroids and will provide very comparable results for zimmerman moths. Bifenthrin does tend to last a little longer than permethrin.

Q
Is Permethrin SFR 36.8% safe to spray on plants in a garden?
A
The only edible vegetation that Permethrin SFR can be used on would be the fruit and nut trees listed on the product label. A more appropriate product for your needs would be Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide. This particular product is formulated and labeled for use on many different types of edible vegetation including most veggies commonly grown in a home garden.

Q
What is the ratio of water to Permethrin?
A
You did not mention a specific product, but we assume you are speaking of Permethrin SFR or something similar.  You can use anywhere from 1 ounce to 3 ounces of Permethrin per gallon of water depending on what you are treating.  You should read the product label for complete treating instructions.
