    Permethrin SFR and any other permethrin product we carry are not for for head lice or use on people. If head lice has been found on a person in the home or in the bed/environment a physician and medicine/shampoos provided by them would need to be used to get rid of the lice. Vacuuming and washing sheets/clothing is all that is needed for the home to remove any that may have come off of the infested person.

  • Asked by Alyssa from Keokuk
    09/26/2019
    Q
    How long should I wait between applications of Permethrin SFR inside before fleas die, and how often can it be used?
    Treated house, yard, and dogs in same day yet still see fleas that night on dogs and furniture. Not sure if I did something wrong, managed to miss a few, or what.
    A

    For flea control, we recommend retreatment with insecticides such as Permethrin SFR every 14 days until you have no more signs of fleas. Most successful flea treatment programs require at least 2-3 treatments at 14-day intervals using both an insecticide for the adult fleas and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) to prevent immature stages of fleas from developing into breeding adults. You will not be able to make just one insecticide application for fleas and never see them again, especially if you did not use an IGR in your treatment. Fleas multiply very quickly, and they have an immature stage that is protected from insecticide, so new fleas will continue to emerge after you have treated. Be sure, also, that you are vacuuming every day or every other day to help pick up adult fleas, flea dirt, and eggs, and also to stimulate those immature fleas so the adults will emerge and be exposed to the insecticide you have put down. We have more tips and details in our Flea Treatment Guide here.

  • Asked by Frank from Long Beach, Ca

    Q
    Does Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill chiggers in the house?
    I have chiggers all in my house and clothes. I have used everything possible, but I need something that works.
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for chiggers.  Onslaught is labeled for chiggers and can be used both indoors and outdoors as a broadcast spray. Chiggers are not known to infest structures. Chiggers are most likely outdoors in your yard. Many people are lead to believe that the infestation is indoors because they do not feel the effects of the chigger bites right away and then are lead to believe they are being bitten at a later time. If you feel strongly that you are being bitten inside by something we would urge you to get a sample of the pest and have it professionally identified by an entomologist. You can find an entomologist in your area by contacting your local cooperative extension office.

  • Asked by Valerie from Pleasanton, Ca
    02/07/2020
    Q
    Does Permethrin SFR 36.8% work on round worms?
    If not what should I use to spray the house for cat round worms? I believe there are idk nits and lice also?
    A

    No, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for roundworms.  There is no treatment for roundworms inside as the infested pets would need to be treated and these worms do not infest homes.

    Unfortunately there is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for roundworms in a yard.  We recommend that all animals be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation.  Another option is to remove the contaminated soil and replace if you cannot keep out for 1 year

  • Asked by John from Englewood
    01/09/2021
    Q
    Why can permethrin be used in Advantics for dogs but not on cats?
    Is there something about this chemical that is particularly dangerous to cats?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% contains permethrin which has been shown to be toxic to cats but is tested and approved for safe use on dogs.  Products with the same active such as Advantix are not formulated the same so are not universal for how they are used.   The inerts and formulation can vary from product to product.
