  • Asked by Katie from Knights Ferry, Ca
    08/14/2022
    Q
    How worried should I be about using PPE when applying Permethrin SFR 36.8% to my dogs and goats?
    And also what will happen if my dogs lick or chew themselves after application when wet and when dried?
    A

    The Permethrin SFR 36.8% Insecticide Product Label states under the PPE section:

     All other mixers, loaders, applicators, and other handlers must wear: 
    - Long-sleeve shirt and pants, 
    - Shoes plus socks, and 
    - Chemical-resistant gloves for all handlers except for applicators using motorized ground equipment,
    - Chemical-resistant apron for mixers/loaders, persons cleaning equipment, and person exposed to the concentrate and for handlers performing animal dip applications.
     
    In general you should try to keep the animal from excessively licking or biting at themselves after an application. If you can set aside a little time after the application to be in the animals area and keeping an eye on them while they dry out and the product absorbs, that would be ideal. There isn't a way to completely keep an animal from gaining access to some on their bodies, and to an extent this has been taken into account for by the manufacturer in these types of applications. If you have any concerns about your specific animals health or safety when using the product on them, we'd recommend contacting the manufacturer directly or discussing the treatment with your vet prior to use and application.

  • Asked by Philip from Acworth, Ga
    09/30/2022
    Q
    Have sprayed Permethrin SFR 36.8% several times to get rid of ground hornets. What do you recommend to eradicate these devils?
    A

    When using a product like Permethrin SFR, the hornets would have to directly contact the treated areas to be affected. We recommend using a product such as Delta Dust Insecticide to apply directly to the bored holes, and this product can be reapplied every 2 weeks as necessary. You can use a Bellow Hand Duster to make the application. This way, the hornets will fly through the dust picking it up and carrying it on their bodies back to the nest. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete instructions.

    Q
    Is it safe for killing flies indoors?
    How does Pemetheran work? We have a log cabin and have tons of flies coming in all during the seasons.We caulked every crack and hole we could possibly find. Could it be the're laying eggs between the logs and then those eggs are hatching later. Does Pemetheran leave a residue on windows if we try it?
    A

    Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be used indoors for flies. We recommend spraying this in cracks and crevices. It can leave a residue after spraying that will kill flies that contact the treated area long enough to get a lethal dose. We would recommend using hot soapy water with a mild detergent to remove any unwanted resiude.  We would also recommend reviewing our guide on how to get rid of flies.

    Can I spray Permethrin SFR 36.8% on luggage?

    We do not advise spraying Permethrin SFR on your luggage as it is not on the label for that, also its oily and has an odor. You should try an aerosol like Bedlam Plus Aerosol to treat the seams and folds of the luggage. You should pay extra attention around the wheels, zipper and handles when spraying.

    Q
    Can permethrin kill parasites that burrow in to my skin and my dogs
    I have an infestation of some type of burrowing parasite or mite whatever it is and I need help. I have tried 100s of products nothing works
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for any type of parasite or mites on dogs or humans so we cannot recommend it be used. Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. We would recommend reaching out to your vet to get your dogs issue diagnosed and correctly treated.

    Although Permethrin SFR 36.8% does not include "sweat bees" as a target pest, other various types of bees are included, so it is likely that this product could provide some control, if used as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Can a marker dye be used with Permethrin SFR? Do you recommend any particular brand marker dye?
    A

    Yes, the Permethrin SFR 36.8% may be used with a turf marker/dye. Add a small amount of the Turf Mark Blue to any liquid insecticide concentrate, herbicide or fungicide and see exactly where you've sprayed. Turf Mark Blue is mixed at a rate of 1/2 - 1 oz. of concentrate per 1 to 3 gallons of liquid insecticide. When applied to turf, the dye disappears within 24-48 hours. Do not use for general pest control treatments around a home as the product will stain and can be difficult to remove.

    Q
    Will Permethrin kill sewer flys and is it safe for drains?
    We have two showers and three sinks that drain into a separate grey water tank that we use for watering landscaping. The tank seems to promote sewer flys and we haven't found anything yet that is effective in eliminating them. Thanks
    A

    We would not recommend using Permethrin SFR for this use in homes. Please check out our Drain Fly Kit to help with this. Nibor-D is also a great option for drain flies.
