    Q
    Can permethrin be used for cicadas?
    We had a copperhead problem last year. They like to eat cicadas and the cicadas like to do their thing in the oak trees behind our house. Would this work for getting rid of the cicadas? Would it soak into the ground to kill them before they emerge? I just need the devil snakes will find someone else to haunt.
    A

    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 liquid

    Many 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.

  • Asked by Jim
    03/16/2011
    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
    Will Permethin SFR kill paper wasps on contact like the long distant sprays you can purchase?
    A
    Permethrin SFR will NOT kill wasps/bees on contact.  The wasps/bees will die, but not immediately.  It can take a few minutes for them to succumb to the product.  Wasp Freeze is your best choice if you are looking to knock down wasps/bees instantly.

  • Asked by Jay from Harrisburg, Pa
    04/30/2013
    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR effective for outdoor for Mosquito control? Does it need an IGR like ExciteR with it?
    Looking to spray small wooded section in back yard and 2 trees.
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for general mosquito control so we do not recommend it for this use. We usually recommend using Talstar P for mosquito control and it can be used with an IGR such as Nyguard IGR to help sterilize the adults. (Exciter is a pyrethrum which causes a faster kill but it is not an IGR).

    Q
    Should I use Permethrin SFR or Hy-Yield 38 Plus for red ants?
    I am having a bad problem with red ants coming inside of my home from under the doors. I am currently using the Talstar granules which kills the ants, but I keep finding dead ants that have come inside.
    A
    The Permethrin SFR 36.8% and the Hi-Yield 38% Plus both have the same active ingredient and will give comparable results so either would be a good choice as a barrier spray around the home and door and window frames.

  • Asked by Dee from Texas
    07/11/2014
    Q
    Permethrin SFR suggested for use against Bed Bugs?
    A local pest control supplier suggested use of Permethrin SFR in conjunction with NyGuard to combat our Bed bug problem. I see after purchase that "bed bugs" is not listed on the bottle. Have others had success with this product for this use or might the sales person have been misinformed. I don't want to waste my time or money using this product if I will not be expected to see results. Thinking of switching to Temprid SC or Transport Mikron after reading up on your website. If I did switch to either of those- could you recommend which has better success and would I still be able to use the NyGuard in the solution mix? Thanks!
    A
    We do not recommend to apply Permthrin indoors at all or for bed bugs. We recommend using one of our Bed Bug kits. It really takes more than one product to eradicate bed bugs. This is why we have specially put our kits together.

    Q
    Can you mix Permethrin and NyGuard IGR to treat yard for fleas?
    Had a cat have a litter of babies under my house and I have a little flea problem. Trying to treat before it becomes a big problem
    A
    Yes, we recommend that you mow your lawn 1-2 days prior to your first application of Permethrin and NyGuard IGR. You will wait two weeks and provide a second application. You can perform a third and/or fourth application if needed depending on the level of fleas (waiting two weeks in between treatments).

  • Asked by Sylvia from Texas
    08/09/2014
    Q
    Can I mix Permethrin SFR with Onslaught?
    Trying to rid fleas, bird mites and ticks.
    A

    These products should not be mixed together. There is no valid reason to mix Onslaught  and  Permethrin SFR together.  They are both synthetic pyrethroids so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    06/18/2015
    Q
    Does Permethrin kill yellow flies
    I've been bitten 3 times and have had a bad reaction...to yellow flies.
    A
    Yellow flies are a relatively new species so there is not anything labeled for it just yet and no research really as to what works for them.  Permethrin SFR may help to eliminate them as it labeled for mosquioes and flies but it is not labeled for mosquitoes around the yard. Something like Talstar P could be used and may offer some relief.  There is just not enough information available about this new pest.
