    Q
    What does "SFR" mean?
    A
    The SFR has nothing to do with the product itself like most initials after products. It was actually added on by the creater meaning "surfactant for richard".

    Q
    Can I use Permethrin SFR around pigs?
    I am raising pigs and plan on putting them in a new area that is mixed woodlands. The area is teaming with ticks so I was going to spray the area before moving them with permethrin. Will it be safe to allow them into this area to graze, etc. How long after spraying? Also if I want to dip or apply permethrin to the pigs what would be the correct concentration?
    A

    Permethrin SFR can be used in animal housing areas containing swine and for use on swine. Per the product label, you would use 4 oz in 25 gallons of water to treat 50-100 head of swine, and thoroughly wet or dip animals including ears. You must allow 5 days between the last treatment and slaughter.

    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for use on grazing areas. For this treatment, we would recommend Essentria All Purpose Insecticide.

    Q
    permethrin SFR 36.8%
    I was going to order Sawyer Premium insect repellant which repels insects on clothing for 6 weeks or 4-6 washes. the active ingredient is 0.05% Permethrin. So instead I don't see why this product couldn't be used at a diluted rate (and what would the amount per gallon be to dilute it? As with the other product I should be able to use it in shoes, clothes, and around the house hopefully on couches, floors, rugs furniture, right?
    A
    Permethrin SFR is a different formulation than the products that are labeled for use on clothing and other surfaces and it should not be used to treat clothing or other areas not listed on the product label under any circumstances.  We have to advise to follow the instructions on the product label.  Even though the products contain the same active ingredients, the formulations are very different.  Could you tell us what you are treating and we can make a product recommendation more appropriate for your use?

    Q
    How much Permethrin SFR 36.8% do you use for bagworm treatment on Arborvitae in NC?
    This will be the third year I am trying to eliminate bagworm's on my Arborvitae. Desperate for something to work. Used Neem Oil last year and burned the plant due to heat and continued treatment. They were somewhat controlled but left alot of bags which I have been hand harvesting.
    A

    You will use 0.4-0.8 oz. of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water every 21 days as necessary for bagworm control.  Keep in mind that this needs to be applied before the bags have formed.  If the bags have already formed, there is little you can do for control other than to physically remove them.

  • Asked by David from Aransas Pass
    05/17/2014
    Q
    How do i dilute Permethrin SFR for flea control in yard?
    I'm having trouble understanding your recomendations for flea control. One part of the instructions states 1&2/3 ounces per gallon of water. Then it goes on to mention flea control for the YARD .4 to .8 ounces per gallon of water. We just sprayed our back yard for flea infestation with 1&2/3 ouncers per gallon. When would one only use .4 to .8 ounces per gallon? Would that be for subsequent monthly "maintenance" only?
    A
    You can use any of the rates that you mentioned for flea control. The most common rates used for lawns would be .8 ounces per gallon. You will want to keep your grass short and target your sprays towards any area that holds moisture more than another. It can also help to use an insect growth regulator with the spray to help stop the reproductive cycle of the fleas. One of the best IGRs for this would be the NyGuard IGR which can easily be mixed and sprayed at the same time with the Permethrin to be applied at the same time.

    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC or Talstar P to treat a poultry house for lice and mites?
    Does Suspend or Talstar work in killing and/or preventing lice in an outdoor chicken coup?

    Talstar P is not labeled for lice. Suspend SC is labeled for lice, however, it is not labeled for use inside of chicken coops.
