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.
Permethrin SFR is labeled for termites but only as a perimeter treatment around the outside of your home, in a trench. A better option would be Termidor FOAM. You would have to drill holes into the cabinets to inject it into the galleries the termites have created for it to expand through their tunnels and reach them. Please see our Termite Guide for more information.
Yes you can use Permethrin SFR on your dog. You should use ¼ fl. oz of product to 1¼ gallons water then thoroughly wet the animal to the skin with sponge or rag. Let drip dry. You can find these instructions on page 16 of the Permethrin SFR product label? which we have linked in this answer for your convenience but is always available on the Permrthrin SFR product page. The manufacturer has taken in consideration that dogs will lick etc. You can apply a cone collar to prevent the dog from licking the treated fur.
Unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles/borers. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with either Permethrin SFR or Bifen XTS. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.
Permethrin SFR is not labeled for general mosquito control so we do not recommend it for this use. We usually recommend using Talstar P? for mosquito control and it can be used with an IGR such as Nyguard IGR to help sterilize the adults. (Exciter is a pyrethrum which causes a faster kill but it is not an IGR).
