    Q
    Can I mix Permethrin 36.8%, Biffen XTS, and NyGuard IGR?
    Can I combine the Permethrin 36.8%, Biffen XTS, and NyGuard IGR? We live in an area that is very affected by Lyme disease, and I want to make sure my family can play out in the yard without having to worry about ticks.
    A

    Two insecticides like Permethrin SFR 36.8% and Bifen XTS should not be mixed together. Creating a pesticide mixture that is too string can backfire, causing insects to avoid the treated ares.  However, NyGuard IGR can be mixed with either of these alone.

  • Asked by Gary from Windsor
    05/01/2017
    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.

    Q
    How to use Permethrin SFR 36.8% on cattle?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be applied to cattle. For treating fly/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.

Please refer to Pages 47 & 48 on the product label for specific mixing and application instructions prior to use.

    05/05/2017
    Q
    Is it safe to spray Permethrin SFR 36.8% around cats, dogs, and birds? Is it harmful to breathe in?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be applied to indoor cracks and crevices when the children and pets are not present. They can return once the treated areas are completely dry. Depending on the mix ratio used and how heavily you sprayed, it could be anywhere from just as the product has has had time to dry, or several hours after application before the smell of the Permethrin SFR completely goes away. If the odor is objectionable, then you may want to consider switching to a water-based insecticide, rather than an oil-based one. You may contact our Customer Service staff at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p for further assistance selecting an alternative product.

  • Asked by Taylor from Montezuma, Ga
    05/25/2017
    Q
    What is the rate per gallon of water for Permethrin SFR and Malathion to treat my yard for ticks? Are these products pet safe?
    I was told at Tractor Supply that mixing these two products with water & using it as a yard spray will get rid of all ticks. Is this true?
    A

    Malathion is not labeled for ticks and should not be mixed with Permethrin SFR 36.8%.  We would recommend using Permethrin SFR at the rate of 04. to 0.8 fl oz per 1000 sqft 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 Andrea from Ca.
    06/04/2017
    Q
    Does Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill rodent mites?
    I read in a university study that it will.
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for rat mites specifically. It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with rat mites. Have the suspected rat mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a rat nest or a dead rat on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or rat(s) and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Since there has not been much research on controlling rodent mites this program is only a suggestion and may not work for every situation. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

  • Asked by Nick from New York

    Q
    Can I use Permethrin SFR around pigs?
    I am raising pigs and plan on putting them in a new area that is mixed woodlands. The area is teaming with ticks so I was going to spray the area before moving them with permethrin. Will it be safe to allow them into this area to graze, etc. How long after spraying? Also if I want to dip or apply permethrin to the pigs what would be the correct concentration?
    A

    Permethrin SFR can be used in animal housing areas containing swine and for use on swine. Per the product label, you would use 4 oz in 25 gallons of water to treat 50-100 head of swine, and thoroughly wet or dip animals including ears. You must allow 5 days between the last treatment and slaughter.

    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for use on grazing areas. For this treatment, we would recommend Essentria All Purpose Insecticide.

    Q
    Can you use Permethrin SFR 36.8% on pastures that you have horses in?
