Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be applied to cattle. For treating flies/lice, you will apply 4 fl oz per 2 1/2 gallons of low pressure spray or 1/2 fl oz per ear for ear tick. It can also be applied at the rate of 4 oz per 25 gallon (treats 50-100 heads). For scabies, mange, lice and ticks you will wet the animal thoroughly and repeat applications in 10-14 days. For a backrubber/self oiler, you will add 4 fl oz to 10 gallons of diesel oil or suitable mineral oil. Please refer to Pages 47 & 48 on the product label for specific mixing and application instructions prior to use.
When using Permethrin SFR 36.8% for mole crickets the product label states you use 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. If you’re using the higher rate of 0.8 oz per 1000 sq ft, that would require 35.2 ounces for an acre. 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 36.8% has a shelf life of 3-5 years if kept out of direct sunlight and out of extreme temperatures. It should be stored in a cool, dry area. Once diluted, the solution needs to be used or discarded within 24 hours.
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.
