  • Asked by Johnnie from Washington, Dc
    02/21/2016
    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 David from Aransas Pass

    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.

  • Asked by William from Cleveland, Oh
    05/05/2017
    Q
    Is it safe to spray Permethrin SFR 36.8% around cats, dogs, and birds? Is it harmful to breathe in?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be applied to indoor cracks and crevices when the children and pets are not present. They can return once the treated areas are completely dry. Depending on the mix ratio used and how heavily you sprayed, it could be anywhere from just as the product has has had time to dry, or several hours after application before the smell of the Permethrin SFR completely goes away. If the odor is objectionable, then you may want to consider switching to a water-based insecticide, rather than an oil-based one. You may contact our Customer Service staff at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p for further assistance selecting an alternative product.

  • 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 Bart from New Bern, Nc
    05/19/2019
    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.

  • Asked by Adam from Wisconsin
    06/27/2019
    Q
    How does Permethrin SFR 36.8% compare to Bifen XTS?
    Looks like it's used to kill same insects; just curious how it compares. I'm very happy with Bifen product but always looking for 5e next best thing. Thanks
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labelled for many of the same insects as Bifen XTS and would actually be a good choice to use as a rotation insecticide. Typically you will want to rotate insecticides about every 6 months to prevent any type of resistance from developing when the same active ingredient or mode of action is used for an extended amount of time.

    10/20/2022
    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR 36.8% safe with cats and dogs in the house? Can I safely spray permethrin on carpet and furniture without harming my cat?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is pet safe if used as directed however we do advise that the active ingredient Permethrin can be extremely toxic to cats if they are exposed to areas that have not dried completely. Keep pets out of the area while treating and do not allow them to re-enter the home until the application has fully dried.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Mira from Alice, Tx
    12/20/2015
    Q
    Does Permethrin SFR work on bed bugs, and if so how long does it last after you have sprayed?
    A

    We would not recommend Permethrin SFR 36.8% for a bed bug treatment because they can easily grow resistance. We would definitely recommend something more like Temprid SC because it has two active ingredients that actually work against bed bugs that may have resitance to other products. We would recommend that you check our guide on How to get rid of bed bugs for more detailed information.

    Q
    Can I use Permertrin SFR 36.8% on my dog? It is in K9 Advantix
    What is the ratio for dog flea and tick dip per gallon of water? What is the ratio for dogs like K9 Advantix 2 is 44.00%
    A
    According to the Permethrin SFR product label 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. Let drip dry.

  • Asked by Leah from Orlando, Fl
    02/05/2017
    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR safe for couches?
    I have a flea problem and want to treat my couches. I bought both Ppermethrin SFRr and Bifen XTS for the yard which one is safer for use on furniture
    A

    Neither Permethrin SFR nor Bifen XTS can be applied to furniture.  Bifen XTS is also not able to be applied to carpets inside so would not be recommended for inside flea control.  Nyguard Plus would be a better option as it can be applied to upholstered furniture and other areas, it also is an odor neutralizer and contains an IGR (insect growth regulator) which is highly recommended when treating for fleas.  Please refer to our guide here for the best advice in effectively treating fleas both inside and out.
