In order to treat successfully for Clothes Moths, something like the ProPest Clothes Moth Traps would need to be used with a crack and crevice insectide like Suspend SC or aerosol like Cy-Kick CS.

You can use Permethrin SFR in a hose end sprayer as long as it can be calibrated to the required usage rate, though for fleas outside the rate is not set per gallon of water. According to the Permethrin SFR product label: For fleas, ant and ticks in lawns - Mix 0.4 – 0.8 fl. oz. (2.4 - 4.8 tsp) of Permethrin SFR in 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Use the higher rate for fast knockdown and increased residual control. Dense or excessive (greater than 3 inches) lawn height and arid conditions may require higher volume application rates. Repeat application if necessary. Application in combination with compatible surfactants or wetting agents may enhance penetration. I am not familiar with the settings on the applicator to give you exact information of the settings. You may contact Chapin for further assistance to avoid doing the math.

Talstar P would need to be applied once a month for mosquito control.

Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for use on container plants so we cannot recommend it. We would recommend something like Bifen IT instead which is known for being super gentle on plants and can be used as a soil drench. The best option with fungus gnats though is to allow the soil to dry out completely as this will kill any larvae in it.
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.
