    Q
    I live in Michigan with a yard that backs up to the woods. I have a big problem with mosquitoes.
    Any suggestions? I am currently using Permethrin SFR.
    A
    Is the Permethrin SFR working well?  If so, we always recommend to stick with what works.  Once downside to Permethrin SFR is that it usually does not last very long outside, usually only a week or two.  We do have a product called Talstar, which is our most popular product for flea control and it will last for 30 days before needing to be reapplied.

    Q
    What is the dilution rate for Permethrin SFR 36.8% to treat fire ant mounds?
    I've read the directions but they are not clear on % or amount to mix/gallon of water for the mounds and 4 foot diameter around the mounds.
    A

    There are 3 mix rates for applying  Permethrin SFR 36.8% with one gallon of water when treating fire ant mounds. Typically you would use the low or mid rate for treating fire ant mounts unless the mounds are greater than 12 inches in diameter per the product label. You can find the mix rate Chart on page 14 of the product label:  

    Mix Rates per one gallon of water: Low:0.5% (1.6 fl oz), Mid:1.0% (3.3 fl oz), High: 2% (6.6 fl oz). If using 2 gallons of water to treat the mounds, you will double the mix rate.

    Q
    Dog Treatment using Permethrin SFR
    Many flea and tick treatments contain 44% Permethrin that is spot treated directly to a do a dog's back. Can this be product be used full strength in the same manner? Just a very small amount as in advantix?
    A

    Permethin SFR can be used on dogs for flea and tick control as directed on the product label only.   It is a concentrate that must be mixed with water first.  You will mix ¼ fl. oz. of concentrate to 1 pt. water and use 1-2 fl. oz. of dilution to spray on each animal. Spot treat back, face, legs tail and ears. If you would like to "dip" the dogs you will use ¼ fl. oz. to 1¼ gallons water and thoroughly wet the dog to the skin with sponge or rag.

  • Asked by Robert from Groton, Ct
    07/07/2014
    Q
    Is the Permethrin SFR oil based? I am looking for something that will not wash away with rain or sprinkler.
    This will be used as a tick control agent, including Lone Star and Deer ticks.
    A
    The Permethrin SFR is petroleum/oil based and will hold up the outdoor elements roughly 30 days which is roughly the same time as most of our other tick control products that are water based as well. To get further control over ticks its highly recommended to use an IGR (insect birth control) like NyGuard IGR in the same mixture to stop the reproductive cycle of the ticks on your property. NyGuard is specifically formulate to be mixed with any insecticide and will hold up to the outdoor elements for normally roughly 4 months.
