  • Asked by Anne
    09/20/2016
    Q
    What time of year is appropriate to use Permethrin SFR 36.8%?
    Live in Kansas I want to apply product on ground around hive to reduce hive Beetles.
    A

    You want to be very careful when using Permethrin SFR 36.8% to treat for hive beetles as the Permethrin is highly toxic to bees! According to the attached article from the University of Arkansas about Managing Small Hive Beetles :   Soil Treatment - The pupal stage is a vulnerable time in the beetle life cycle. Slightly moist, loose, sandy soil is optimal for their development. Locating colonies on hard clay or rocky soil, rather than light sandy soil, can reduce the number of beetly larvae that successfully pupate. If larvae are present in the colony, soil around the hive can be treated with a permethrin drench to prevent the larvae from pupating, killing them in the soil. 

    We also suggest that you contact your local Extension office  to see what their recommendations are for as far as time frame for you to do this in your area. Most times they can give you much more precise advice on those times of years more specific to your local area.

    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR 36.8% be added to house paint?
    Does it kill termites?
    A

    Permethrin SFR cannot be added to house paint to other coatings or materials. Permethrin will kill termites on contact, but it is not recommend for treating or preventing termite infestations. Please see our Termite Treatment Guide for the best recommendations for this pest. If you would like to treat wood to help prevent termite infestations, the best product is Boracare. You can apply paint, stain, or sealant after a Boracare applicaiton is dry.

    Q
    Does Permethrin SFR kill fly larvae/maggots? What is the best way to apply this to carpet?
    Considering it does not come in powder form.
    A

    Permethrin SFR will not kill maggots. For maggots, try and locate the source of the maggots and clean and eliminate the breeding site for the flies. Permethrin SFR would be applied with any standard pump sprayer across carpet after mixing with water and following the instructions on the product label.

  • Asked by Jay from Pa
    07/24/2012
    Q
    Does Permethrin SFR really use 6+ oz to 1 gallon a t 2% like the label states?
    also is there any downfall to using the produst at it strongest?
    A
    It really does take 6 2/3 fl oz per gallon of water to make the 2% dilution ratio of Permethrin SFR. For most applications however you will only need to use the .5% dilution (1 2/3 fl oz per gallon water) for general use. The higher rate is normally used in places where folks are doing a termite treatment but cannot use a large volume of water. What will you be using the product for?

  • Asked by Marissa from Alice, Tx

    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill termites?
    I found a little “mud sculpture” in my daughter's room. At first I thought it was mud so I went to get a napkin to clean it with but I got distracted and forgot about it. When I went back later that night it had grown and as I looked at it I could see tiny small white “worms/heads” kinda poking in and out. I've never seen anything like that before. Will this work? And how and where do I spray it? At what concentration?
    A

    Per the product label, when treating for termites, you will use the 0.5% solution rate, which is 1 2/3 oz. of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water. We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment to help do this. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.

    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR 36.8 get rid of mole crickets and if so what is the application for a 1 acre lot?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for mole crickets. The labeled rate is 0.4 – 0.8 fl. oz. of Permethrin SFR in 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Use the higher rate for fast knockdown and increased residual control. If you’re using the higher rate of 0.8 oz per 1000 sq ft, that would require 35.2 ounces for an acre.

    Q

    A

  • Asked by Per from E.bruns, Nj
    07/12/2018
    Q
    Would Permethrin SFR be the most effective pesticide to control ticks?
    What would be the most effective pesticide to control ticks? I am considering Permethrin, Demand and Cy-Kick, with an IGR if that is the recommendation. This year in central NJ we now have the Lone Star tick in addition to the deer tick. As part of the yard treamtent, I would also consider a bait box for small rodents that applies Fipronil to their coat. Thanks
    A

    Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% would be a very effective insecticide to control ticks.  It is labeled for ticks (including Deer Tick and Western Black legged Tick).  Permethrin would be mixed at 0.4 to 0.8 Fluid Ounces per gallon of water to treat 1000 square feet of lawn and applied as a broadcast application.
