    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill carpet beetle larvae?
    A

    Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be used for carpet beetle larvae. You will need to use 1 2/3 fl. oz. for each gallon of water to get a 0.5% ratio. When using this product for carpet beetles the label states to apply the spray evenly to rugs, carpets, along baseboards and edges of carpeting, under carpeting, rugs and furniture, in closets, on shelving, and wherever else these insects are seen or suspected. For the best control of immature stages, we recommend adding an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) to your insecticide, such as NyGuard EZ1.

    Q
    How many ounces per gallon of water do I need to use the Permethrin SFR 36.8% for ticks?
    Area treated is a wooded area surrounding a lawn, outbuildings and the house. Same question for the lawn please. The label says 0.4 - 0.8 ounces per 4 - 25 gallons. That is quite vague.
    A

    We would recommend using Permethrin SFR at the rate of 1 2/3 oz. per gallon water 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.

    Q
    We bought Permethrin SFR 36.8% treat for fleas in our yard, do we water the grass immediately after the application?
    A

    No, you do not need to water the lawn after applying Permethrin SFR 36.8%  since you are already using 4 to 25 gallons of water every 1,000 sq ft. The water is acting as the carrier – Per the prodcut label Mix 0.4 – 0.8 fl. oz. 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

     

    Permethrin SFR needs to be down for at least 6 hours prior to rain for it to be rainfast but preferably up to 24hrs.

  • Asked by Don from Sask. Canada
    06/22/2018
    Q
    What is Permethrin SFR used for?
    It says: Permethrin SFR is not labeled to be used in home lawns for mosquito control nor can it be used to treat clothing. And then it goes on to say - Permethrin SFR is an insecticide concentrate that is applied to lawns - Permethrin SFR is labeled for ants, aphids, japenese beetles, bagworms, caterpillars, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, scorpions, wasps, ticks, ground beetles, termites and sod webworms. Isn't this self-contradictory??
    A

    We get asked about both of these applications for Permethrin SFR 36.8% frequently so are providing upfront information to better inform customers that they are not intended uses of the product.  It can be used on lawns for the listed insects as indicated on the product label and only for mosquitoes in livestock premises.

    Q
    What setting on the bottle (Chapin g362) do you use for fleas with permethrin?
    I dont want a mathematical problem to figure out I just want the actual setting on the bottle.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Looking for something to control bark beetle.
    A

    The best product for pine bark beetles is Permethrin SFR 36.8%. The biggest key with this insect is timing to ensure the infestation doesn't get out of hand. Once the tree is infested there isnt much you can do other than chop down the tree and burn it to try and prevent the current live ones from getting into any neighboring trees.

  • Asked by Per from E.bruns, Nj
    07/12/2018
    Q
    Would Permethrin SFR be the most effective pesticide to control ticks?
    What would be the most effective pesticide to control ticks? I am considering Permethrin, Demand and Cy-Kick, with an IGR if that is the recommendation. This year in central NJ we now have the Lone Star tick in addition to the deer tick. As part of the yard treamtent, I would also consider a bait box for small rodents that applies Fipronil to their coat. Thanks
    A

    Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% would be a very effective insecticide to control ticks.  It is labeled for ticks (including Deer Tick and Western Black legged Tick).  Permethrin would be mixed at 0.4 to 0.8 Fluid Ounces per gallon of water to treat 1000 square feet of lawn and applied as a broadcast application.

  • Asked by Floyd from Motley, Mn

    Q
    I live in MN and have 2 mostly wooded acres and a Stihl 430 sprayer. Can I use Permethrin SFR 36.8% for mosquito control?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% 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.

    Q
    What can I do to keep adult sawyer beetles off my patio
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be used around the perimeter and edges of the patio to kill those that contact a treated surface but there is not a true repellent that could be used to keep them away.  Since sawyer beetles bore into dead or dying trees you should inspect trees, especially conifers, for any damage and have those infested cut down and the wood chipped or burned to eliminate areas that can draw them in.

    We would recommend using Permethrin SFR 36.8% at the rate of 1 2/3 oz. per gallon water 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.

    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR kill Japanese Beetle larva in sod?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled to treat for white grubs. Milky Spore Spreader Mix is a great long term control granule for white grubs. Making 3 applications in Spring Summer & Fall over 2 years will provide your lawn with a 20 year protection against grubs. You can read more on How To Treat for Grubs here.
