    Q
    Can I use Permethrin SFR to treat ants in the lawn? How do I apply it?
    A

    Yes, you can use Permethrin SFR to control ants in the lawn.  You will mix 0.4 to 0.8 fluid ounce 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet. Use the higher rate for fast knockdown and increased residual control.  Dense or excessive (greater than 3 inches) lawn height and arid conditions may require higher volume application rates.

  • Asked by Gary from Windsor

    Q
    How much Permethrin SFR 36.8% to a gallon of water to treat my Ash tree for borer infestation?
    I want to use a sprayer. The label says 1 to 2 quarts is good for a 100 gal.
    A

    Yes, Per the product label of Permethrin SFR 36.8% you would use 1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of water and apply to the lower branches and trunks prior to asult emergence. Adult emergence varies according to pest species, host trees, environmenta conditions and geographical location. Thprough coverage of bark is required for control.

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% would not be a recommended product as a soil drench for Ash Borers as it is not a systemic and will only kill the insects that contact the treated soil.  Dominion 2L is labeled to use on trees to help protect against boring beetles. Treatments should begin in May or June and should be done every year to protect trees from the Emerald Ash Borers. Most people use a 5 gallon bucket or a large watering can to apply Dominion as a soil drench. You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter for trees. It is recommended that you use the higher rate for boring beetles. The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per inch of trunk diameter for trees but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per inch of trunk diameter for trees. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested.  Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at east 1/2 inch of water. Note: Water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved. Thus, more water may be used if the applicator feels runoff will not occur and proper penetration of the root zone is achieved. Insecticides applied to the soil are taken up by the roots and trans-located throughout the tree or shrub. Root/soil drenches offer the advantage of requiring no special equipment to apply (other than a bucket or watering can). However, surface layers of organic matter, such as mulch or leaf litter, can bind the insecticide and reduce uptake. Before applying drenches, it is important to remove or pull back any mulch or dead leaves so the insecticide solution is poured directly on the mineral soil. It is also important to keep the soil around the tree or shrub moist for the next 10-14 days after applications to encourage uptake.

  • Asked by Ryan from Loxley, Alabama

    Q
    In outdoor applications, how resistant is Permethrin SFR 36.8% to rain?
    I am treating a dog flea infestation both inside and outside my home, but I live in one of the rainiest regions in America; it's currently rainy season and we sometimes get rain five days a week. Is there any special application procedure I should follow (I.E. - only apply if it's not going to rain for a certain number of days after treatment, different concentration, etc)? I am treating roughly 4,000 square/feet of grassy yard. Can I use a garden hose sprayer, or do I have to use a hand pump? Is there an ideal concentration? And what sort of protection length should I expect?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be used inside and outside for flea control. If treating outside, you will want to apply on a  dry day and have 24 hours prior to a rainfall. We suggest treating with an insect growth regulator (IGR).  Treatments should be performed once every two weeks. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for a successful eradication program.

    Q
    What is difference between Dragnet FT Emulsifiable Concentrate and Permethrin SFR 36.8?
    I have a product call Dragnet FT Emulsifiable concentrate insecticide 36.8%. And your product is Permethrin SFR 36.8%. Can you tell me if it is the same thing because there is a big difference in price
    A

    We used to carry Dragnet SFR, but FMC (the manufacturer) discontinued it. It was the same thing as Permethrin SFR 36.8. We are not sure if the Dragnet FT (which we didn't carry) is the exact same formulation, but from looking up the label, it appears to be the same percentage of the same active ingredient. Please let us know if there a particular pest you are treating.

    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR 36.8% safe to treat areas such as horse pastors? Will the grass be edible after it is dry/
    A

    Permethrin SFR? should not be used on pastures where horses or any livestock graze and grass cannot be consumed after dried. Very few products are listed as safe to use in grazing areas. Essentria All Purpose is one of our top products that will not harm the animals and will cover all the same insects the Permethrin SFR covers on its label.

  • Asked by Alice from Shoals
    05/26/2018
    Q
    How much Permethrin 10% is needed for tick control in my yard?
    Is it safe around pets?
    A

    We would recommend using Permethrin SFR 36.8% at the rate of 1 2/3 oz. per gallon water for ticks. It would also be a good idea to incorporate an insect growth regulator (IGR) such as Archer IGR for complete control of ticks. All of these products are pet safe if used as directed.  Pets need to be kept out of the area being treated during application and until everything is completely dry. 

    Please look over our Tick Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing this pest.

  • Asked by Jean
    06/18/2018
    Q
    We bought Permethrin SFR 36.8% treat for fleas in our yard, do we water the grass immediately after the application?
    A

    No, you do not need to water the lawn after applying Permethrin SFR 36.8%  since you are already using 4 to 25 gallons of water every 1,000 sq ft. The water is acting as the carrier – Per the prodcut label Mix 0.4 – 0.8 fl. oz. of Permethrin SFR in 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1000 square feet.Use the higher rate for fast knockdown and increased residual control. Dense or excessive (greater than 3 inches) lawn height and arid conditions may require higher volume application rates. Repeat application if necessary. Application in combination with compatible surfactants or wetting agents may enhance penetration

     

    Permethrin SFR needs to be down for at least 6 hours prior to rain for it to be rainfast but preferably up to 24hrs.
