    Q
    What is the appropriate solution of Permethrin to use to spray the chickens and chicken coop?
    We wish to treat backyard chickens for scaly leg mites and other possible mites.

    Q
    Can I use Permethrin SFR 36.8% for leaf-footed bugs on pomegranate trees?
    If so, how much per gallon of water?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% should not be applied to pomegranate trees. You can use Monterey Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic instead. According to the label for the Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic, when treating for leafy bugs on pomegranate trees, you cannot make more than one application per year and do not apply until the trees have flowered or when bees are actively foraging. The mixing ratio is 1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water. You need to stay within 3 feet of the dripline when pouring around the base of the tree. This needs to be poured evenly around the tree.

    Q
    What is the best pest control for New Mexico, Edgewood area in the mountains?
    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. What is the best spray for my yard that I can do once a month or every coupon months? There are also a lot of trees so tree termites or beetles could be a problem.
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% would be good to use for ticks and other insects in the yard as well as on healthy trees to help protect from beetle infestations.  We have a great video that shows where to spray for perimeter and interior spraying. Please click here to see the video as well as our Tick Prevention guide here.

    As for termites, the best thing is to protect your home.  We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment to help do this. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.

  • Asked by M from Phoenix, Az
    10/25/2017
    Q
    How long does a treatment of Permethrin SFR last?
    I will be using it on the exterior of my home in Arizona for arachnids and wonder how often I would need to retreat the area to remain pest free.
    A

    Since Permethrin SFR is an oil-based product it is going to be more prone to break down in the extreme heat and sunlight in your area faster than other products. You will likely have to reapply the Permethrin every 30 days to keep insect populations under control and have a strong residual still on the surface. We would suggest when you get ready to order more product in the future going with something better designed for your environment like Cy Kick CS or Onslaught FastCap which will also likely give a better control over arachnids and other pests they feed on due to their encapsulation.

    Q
    What is difference between Dragnet FT Emulsifiable Concentrate and Permethrin SFR 36.8?
    I have a product call Dragnet FT Emulsifiable concentrate insecticide 36.8%. And your product is Permethrin SFR 36.8%. Can you tell me if it is the same thing because there is a big difference in price
    A

    We used to carry Dragnet SFR, but FMC (the manufacturer) discontinued it. It was the same thing as Permethrin SFR 36.8. We are not sure if the Dragnet FT (which we didn't carry) is the exact same formulation, but from looking up the label, it appears to be the same percentage of the same active ingredient. Please let us know if there a particular pest you are treating.

    Q
    I have Permethrin 36.8% which I bought to control sod web worms. Will it also work for crane flies?
    A

    In most cases, it is not necessary to use an insecticide for crane fly larvae control. If damage is severe we would recommend using 1 oz. of Bifen IT per gallon of water per 1000 sq. ft. for the initial treatment and then 0.5 fl oz per gallon of water for any necessary follow-up treatments.
