It is recommended that you use either a hand pump sprayer, hose end sprayer or a backpack (mist blower) sprayer to apply Permethrin SFR 36.8% in your lawn.
No Permethrin SFR is not labeled for use on vegetable gardens and cannot be applied to anything edible. Please see our Edible Crop Products for choices more suited to your needs.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is concentrated broad spectrum insecticide that offers a quick knockdown of target pests as well as a long lasting residual. It should be diluted at the rates listed on the product label, and once it has been tank mixed, the solution must be used within 24 hours. You may have to agitate the mixture occasionally during the application, but the concentrate should remain soluble for the duration of your treatment.
That would be considered off label usage so we are not able to provide you information for tick tubes. We apologize for the inconvenience.
For ant control, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is mixed at 1 2/3 oz per gallon of water.
We do suggest that you check out our Carpenter Ant Product Page or our Carpenter Ant Kit for recommended products as well as our Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more recommendations.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled to be used around edibles. You may consider using a product like Sevin Concentrate to kill the ticks in those areas.
You can use Permethrin SFR 36.8% for control of crawling and flying insects in your lawn as long as you do not apply it in a way that would allow for runoff or overspray into the pool. So you should not spray on a concrete pool deck or on tiling next to the pool.
You may consider keeping a can of Wasp Freeze on hand to spray stinging insects on contact when you see them (do not use over the water). Some folks have also been known to use a badminton racket, provided they have good aim.
If you have bees drinking from a freshwater pool, the you may also consider created another water source for the insects farther out and more toward a covered area for them. Just be mindful it's there and keep the water fresh so you don't create a mosquito habitat.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled to be sprayed on ornamentals safely as directed on the label but is not labeled for mosquitoes around homes, only on livestock and livestock premises. Talstar P would be a better option. For mosquitoes key is to apply to the underside of leaves on trees/bushes which is there the adults lay during the day, as well as shady areas. You would not treat entire areas of the lawn that are in full sun as it is not habitable for them there.
An exterior application of Permethrin SFR has a four week residual.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for elm bark beetles and elm leaf beetles.
The dilution rate for Permethrin SFR depends on what you are treating for. It can be anywhere from 1 fl. oz. to 3 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Please see the label for complete application instrustructions.
There is no valid reason to use both Ultracide and Permethrin in the same areas. Only one is needed when treating inside and the Ultracide already contains an IGR and residual killer as well so another is not needed on top. Applying more product can make an area repellent and insects will avoid it so neither do the job of killing. We have a guide that can help explain the treatment which includes non chemical steps as well.
You can mix Permethrin SFR with ExciteR, or Conquer with ExciteR, but you would not mix all 3 together as this would not be beneficial. Neither of those insecticides are top choices for roaches.
For a complete Roach Control Treatment Program, we would recommend one of our Roach Control Kits. These professional kits includes non-staining, low odor concentrated insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that like to hide. Baits can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, an Insect Growth Regulator is offered which will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. The insecticide must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer.
View our Roach Treatment Guide Article that really goes into depth in explaining a roach control program.
Unfortunately, this is outside of our scope of knowledge. For pinworms, you will need treatment from a physician. Environmental treatments usually involve steam cleaning and washing and drying clothes on high heat. And for the insects in your sink, you may want to contact a professional pest control company so they can see what is going on for you. This is not a natural place for them to be and nothing is labeled to treat either area. We apologize we could not be more helpful.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for bed bugs nor recommended to eradicate a bed bug infestation.
Bed Bugs require a combination of products along with diligent repeat applications to eradicate. There is not one product that will fully treat and eradicate bed bugs. Please view our Bed Bug Kits for the best professional grade product recommendations and the Bed Bug Treatment Guide for a full treatment program.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is a great product choice for the treatment indoors and/or outdoors for fleas and ticks when tank mixed with an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will help stop the reproduction and growth cycle. These products are not for use on cats. Keep pets and kids out of the area while treating and until the applicaiton has completely dried.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is mixed at 1 2/3 fl oz (0.5%) to 3 1/3 fl oz (1%) per gallon of water along with 1 fl oz Martins I.G. Regulator per gallon of water. One gallon of mixed solution is applied as a broadcast application to carpets, rugs, undersides of furniture, and areas where pets rest. Do not saturate surfaces, apply till slightly damp.
Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more information as it contains more important information on a successful flea treatment program.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% should not be applied to the vinyl plank flooring. This product is only labeled for broadcast applications to carpets, rugs, undersides of furniture, pet resting areas(bedding). For vinyl, hardwood, concrete, etc applications, apply only to cracks and crevices indoors. For additional information on treating for fleas indoors, please take a few moments to review our article and videos here.
Permethrin SFR is manufactured by U.S based Control Solutions.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for mosquito treatments anywhere other than on livestock or in livestock quarters, so you are incorrectly and illegally applying the Permethrin if you are using it for mosquito treatments. It also should not be mixed with Cyzmic CS nor would there be a reason to. Cyzmic CS on its own at 0.4 to 0.8 oz per gallon of water is more than sufficient to use for residual control of mosquitoes. The Tekko Pro at 1 oz per gallon is correct, your surfactant is a little heavy (normally only used at 1-2 tsp per gallon) but can work fine at that rate as long as you aren't experiencing plant burn. If you wanted to increase your control and get a contact kill/knock down you can mix in Pyrethrin, found in the product name ExciteR, which I feel is maybe what you thought you were doing with Permethrin but misunderstood what chemical should be used.
Spraying the lawn is not a necessity for mosquito treatments and dense foliage like where you sprayed is great, but if you want to spray the whole yard for extra protection you certainly can. Also keep in mind a lot of the times you will see no see ums and fungus gnats flying around and emerging from the lawn as well, and can look similar to mosquitoes. You can definitely use the Altosid in the drainage ditch to help any breeding in those areas from emerging to help slow down that population.
Overall, outside of the incorrect use of Permethrin the only thing you need at this point is patience. Its just not realistic to expect more results than what you have so far that early after treating. Mosquito populations, especially when they aren't all coming from just your property, can take time to eliminate. As long as you continue to use the chemicals in the areas you have been and do this consistently each month or so during the main pest season, you will start to see the overall numbers drop over time and the yard become a lot more tolerable to spend time in. Until the larger chunks of the population are under control, you can use small fans to keep the air moving on the porch areas to help reduce bites or their activity near you, or things like thermacell repellents for patios.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is applied at 0.4 to 0.8 fl oz in 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft for sod webworms. Ensuring you use enough water volume to get the applicaiton into the soil is crucial in getting results as these turf insects are under the soil surface. 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.
Please view the product label for more information.
