    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
    What should I use for tick control?
    Hi, I recently purchased a property that has a healthy infestation of deer ticks. We have cleared and stripped the top soil on about 1 acre. Still have brush, vegetation, and trees all around the perimeter. I'm looking to purchase a backpack sprayer to spray an insecticide. My question is what is the best product to use?
    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.  We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Permethrin to stop the ticks from being able to develop while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. 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.

    Q
    Why wouldn't Permethrin SFR 36 be a good option for mosquito control, and can it be used in a hand held fogger?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled to be used for mosquitos in yards and cannot be used in a fogger.  Fogging is really only going to kill those that are out in the area at the time of application and may make the area slightly repellent for about a day or so.  Talstar P is our most popular product for mosquito control and would be a better option.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer.  The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well, which is where the mosquitoes like to hang out.  It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.

    I'm moving to an area that I don't know anything about, it's mountains and rural. Lots of native animals, including deer so I'm worried about my dog and cats getting ticks as well as us for that matter.

    Q
    Would this product be safe to spray around an organic garden?
    I have an organic garden, but I also have a severe tick problem in my fenced in yard. I only live on about 3/4 an acre but there are deer ticks all over it, and I have small children. I want to spray something in/around my yard, which would be around my garden, but not on the plants in the garden beds. Is this safe, or is there a chance that this will get down into the soil and come into contact with my plant's roots?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for ticks and can be used in your lawn. The product should not be used within the drip line of the garden. We normally recommend using it at least 2-3 feet away. Once the product is dry, it is safe for your children to go into the lawn. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Magdolna from Nh
    05/31/2019
    Q
    I sprayed my yard 4 days ago with Permethrin SFR 36.8%, but I still have live ticks. Should I spray it again?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% should only be applied once every four weeks. It does take time for the product to work after applied. 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.
