    Q
    Does mopping with common bleach decompose Permethrin SFR (after 2 days of applying it)?
    A

    We recommend reapplying Permethrin SFR to the cracks and crevices where you applied the bleach solution after it dries for this situation. For future applications, you will want to mop or steam prior to application to avoid residual removal.

  • Asked by Don from Sask. Canada
    06/22/2018
    Q
    What is Permethrin SFR used for?
    It says: Permethrin SFR is not labeled to be used in home lawns for mosquito control nor can it be used to treat clothing. And then it goes on to say - Permethrin SFR is an insecticide concentrate that is applied to lawns - Permethrin SFR is labeled for ants, aphids, japenese beetles, bagworms, caterpillars, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, scorpions, wasps, ticks, ground beetles, termites and sod webworms. Isn't this self-contradictory??
    A

    We get asked about both of these applications for Permethrin SFR 36.8% frequently so are providing upfront information to better inform customers that they are not intended uses of the product.  It can be used on lawns for the listed insects as indicated on the product label and only for mosquito…
