Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for scabies so we cannot recommend it be used. Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-Fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home is usually not necessary.

Permethrin SFR is labeled for chinch bug treatments in your lawn. Per the product label, you use 0.4 to 0.8 oz per 1000 sq ft in 4 -25 gallons of water. You want to be sure to use enough water to get the product below the thatch layer when dealing with chinch bugs.

These products should be applied once every two weeks. Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more information.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% will kill scorpions that come in contact with it. However, a more effective product would be Onslaught Fastcap which is specifically designed for scorpions and other insects that are harder to kill. Onslaught FastCap is a unique insecticide that has an encapsulated pyrethroid plus prallethrin for quick knockdown. The encapsulation really helps products to last longer in the heat and sunlight in desert environments better than the Permethrin SFR would.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is a synthetic pyrethrin like bifenthrin so they would work comparably.

Best applied before they are active so it has time to be absorbed.

Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12". For best results, apply in cool weather, such as in early morning or late evening hours, but not in the heat of the day.

Permethrin SFR would have limited results on cicada killer wasps as would any liquid application.
Dusting the holes with something like Tempo 1% Dust will allow it to flow through the nest better than a liquidMany of our customers have used Delta Gard Granules to help limit the number of cicada killers in their yard with some success. Still, the only surefire way to get rid of them is to treat the individual burrows.
Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them.
We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young. The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.

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.
