    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR 36.8% be used to treat clothes on skin? The military uses permethrin for this.
    The military uses a 40% concentration to treat uniform and other clothing. Can this product be used in the same manner or for the same application?
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for use on clothing and is not formulated for such a use. We do carry a product called Tick Block that is specifically labeled for use on clothing.

  • Asked by Kimberly from Jacksonville, Fl
    01/08/2012
    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR 36.8% the product you would recommend for treating the lawn for an active tick problem?
    SInce it has a residual effect it should help prevent future tick infestations too? Or is there another product you would recommend? Thanks
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for ticks in yards and it will offer some residual effects as well. The Permethrin SFR 36.8% product label recommends that you mix the product with a surfactant to help the product better stick to the foliage that you are spraying.  Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your pets should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on pets for tick control.

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

    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 Lisa
    06/17/2013
    Q
    How do I apply Permethrin as a barrier against termite and carpenter ant infestations in the home?
    I would like to protect my home against further infestation from carpenter ants and termites. What are the best places to apply the product? Also, how do I apply the product to the interior of the basement and attic to control spiders and silverfish?
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for indoor use. You could use our Carpenter Ant kit that contains Dominion 2L that will treat both termites and carpenter ants, as well as a protein based bait and sweet based bait that can be used indoors where you have seen the ant activity. You can use a product like Tempo SC Ultra indoors to control the spiders, silverfish and more. Please make sure to review the product labels before application.

  • Asked by Mitzi from Maxton,
    07/09/2013
    Q
    Can Permethrin be used on wet ground? Do i need to remove my dogs to apply?
    It has rained a lot.
    A
    You will want to keep the dogs out of the area while you do the treatment and until the entire treated area has dried. You will also want to make sure it is not going to rain for at least 6 hours after application of the product as well. It is okay for the ground to be a little wet from the rain but the wet ground will make the product take longer to dry. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Anonymous from Ny Ny
    07/22/2013
    Q
    Even though it doesn't say it kills bedbugs why is it that most insecticides have Permethin as the ingredient?
    A
    None of the insecticide concentrates that we recommend for bed bug control contain permethin as the ingredient or inert ingredients. We are unsure of where you have received this information but if you look at our Bed Bug Concentrates you can see the ingredients in each listed on every product page. You may see in our Bedlam Aerosol the ingredient permethrin as this formulation of the product mixed with its inert ingredients will work on bed bugs. Permethrin SFR has a completely different base and is formulated to be used on surfaces that will not contact skin for prolonged periods of time. While the active ingredient is the same the carrier is different and using Permethrin SFR on bedding like the Bedlam for bed bug control could lead to illness and skin irritations. You may be seeing that the ingredients in the bed bug products are Pyrethroids, which is a man made version of Pyrethrin which is the all natural ingredient derived from the crysanthymum plant. Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Q

  • Asked by Lucinda from Gonzales, La
    10/22/2013
    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.

    Q
    I want to spray for mosquitoes in my backyard with Permethrin SFR, how much to use?
    I have a patch of woods in the back of my backyard, and a lot of mosquitoes. I'd like to spray the grass and some of the bushes/tress close to the yard. How much Permethrin SFR should I use per gallon.
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for general mosquito control so we do not recommend it for this use. We usually recommend using Bifen IT for mosquito control and it can be used with an IGR such as Pivot IGR to help sterilize the adults.

A minimum of two applications and up to four depending on the level of fleas. If you need anything else, please let us know.
