    Q
    Can you recommend a product that can control ticks and other outdoor bugs like mosquitoes?
    A
    Permethrin SFR would be great choice for outdoor tick and other insect control. Permethrin SFR is a broad spectrum insecticide that offers a quick knockdown of target pests as well as a long lasting residual that lasts for about 90 days indoors and 30 days outdoors. This product may be used indoors and outdoors on turf, lawns, and ornamentals. Please follow the product label for application instructions.

  • 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
    Can Permethrin SFR be used on human skin and clothing? If so, what is the ratio of Permethrin to water?

    Q
    If I use this does it need to be 1:1 to make a 5% solution? Also, what strength does Permethrin need to be to kill human and or animal mites on contact? To spray surfaces, bedding and furniture.
    A
    Permethrin SFR cannot be used on humans or in residential areas to control mites. We recommend getting a proper identification of the mite by a local pest control or your local extension office.

    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.

    Q
    I'm having a flea infestation would Permethrin SFR 36.8% help and how often should I repeat these treatments?
    flea infestation in my back yard...we live a wooded area lot of squirrels and birds. We've applied about 3 weeks ago but still don't seem to see a difference ..we used the 1.0% 5gallons
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% would be a great product choice for the treatment indoors and/or outdoors for fleas and ticks. Please add Archer IGR to impede the insects reproductive cylce. The products should be applied once every two weeks. We recommend mowing the lawn one to two days prior to the initial application. A minimum of two applications and up to four depending on the level of fleas. If you need anything else, please let us know.

    Will this kill grasshoppers?
    I am looking to treat 9 acres of pasture for grasshoppers, chiggers and ticks.
    A

    No, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for grasshoppers or chiggers, but it is labeled for ticks. 

    We would recommend using Bifen IT. It is labeled for grasshoppers, chiggers and ticks as well as various other pests. It can be broadcast across a lawn but is not labeled for use in pastures.

  • Asked by James from Indianapolis, In
    03/17/2015
    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR 36.8% be diluted with water to soak clothes in for tick control while hiking?
    Does this have any other active ingredients than permethrin?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be used on clothing of any type. We do carry Tick Block which was specifically manufactured for use on clothing for tick control. While Tick Block and Permethrin SFR 36.8% share the same active ingredient the base ingredients are very different and the products are not interchangeable. Permethrin SFR 36.8% does contain inert ingredients that are privy to the manufacturer. The inert ingredient part of a product is a trade secret and not disclosed to anybody.

    Q
    I want to mix Permethrin with mineral oil to brush on rollers of a 4 poster deer feeding station...
    To help reduce tick populations in my area. What ratio should I use to achieve a 10% concentration? Thank you.
    A
    Our apologies but we are not able to offer a dilution rate for getting a 10% concentration as the use you are intending is an off label usage of the Permethrin SFR and there are no instructions for mixing at that percentage on the product label.  We would recommend checking with your department of Agricultural for the best advice for controlling deer tick populations around feeding stations.

  • Asked by Joe from Suffolk, Virginia
    06/02/2015
    Q
    What Is The Expected Wait Time Before Permethrin Kills Fleas?
    I have applied Permethrin SFR as a broadcast spray inside my home, also mixed with Archer IGR, both per their respective manufacturer's instructions. The solution was sprayed due to a flea infestation that occurred while I was away for business (it is also a 100+ yr old farm house so very susceptible to bugs etc). Are the affects to be expected immediately or after a delay? I have had great success with previous purchases from you guys and have faith this will be the same, just not sure how long I have to wait. Many thanks for your help.
    A
    Depending on many factors such as insect type, etc  Permethrin SFR 36.8% can take minutes to hours to kill insects. Permethrin SFR is not labeled to be applied as a broadcast inside. You would want to use Archer mixed with a product like Onslaught labeled for broadcast. Please keep in mind that it can take at least 2 treatments to eradicate fleas. Be sure to keep up with the vacuuming too.

  • Asked by Andrew from Winsted, Minnesota
    06/06/2015
    Q
    If Permethrin SFR 36.8% is safe for carpets, why not clothing?
    If Permethrin SFR (in a properly diluted effusion) is safe for use on carpets, why is it not safe on clothing? I walk barefoot on carpets. My children have crawled on carpets. From reading MSDSs and FDA pages on Permethrin, human contact is only hazardous prior to it drying (while a liquid or vapor). If applied to clothing that is allowed to dry fully before it is worn, where's the risk? Are your compound's inactive ingredients contact toxins, or are you simply trying to discourage a use that is not formally approved for your formulation?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for use on clothing and is not formulated for such a use. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer for additional safety information. They can be reached at 281-892-2500 (Control Solutions).

  • Asked by Arlyn from Sioux City, Iowa
    01/09/2016
    Q
    Can a mist blower be used with Permethrin SFR?
    Can a mist blower be used with Permethrin SFR for mosquito control? How long will it be effective?
    A

    Permethrin SFR can be used in a mist blower when used as directed on the product label, but it is not labeled for mosquito control. We recommend folks use a product such as Talstar P for a long lasting residual for mosquito control. Talstar cannot be used in a fogger but it can be used in mist blower, hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer for mosquito control. Talstar P would need to be applied once a month for mosquito control.
