  • Asked by Harry from Manreca, Ca
    12/29/2018
    Q
    Can I use Permethrin SFR to exterminate Cockroaches?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for roaches, so it would kill roaches of any species or size that come into contact with it via direct spray or residual. If you are only seeing roaches occasionally and need a residual spray to create a barrier, then you have many options. Temprid FX is water-based and contains two active ingredients for longer control. It also does not have the odor that sprays with permethrin will have. If you are seeing different life stages and/or seeing roaches consistently, then we would recommend our Roach Control Kit Rotation A. Please see our Roach Treament Guide for more information and tips.

  • Asked by Renee from San Antonio, Tx
    12/04/2018
    Q
    What setting on a hose sprayer should I use for flea/tick treatment using Permethrin SFR 36.8% ?
    A

    How you set your hose end sprayer will depend completely on the brand of sprayer you have. We recommend you read the directions on the hose end sprayer as some require you to pre-dilute the product and other hose end sprayers do not.  That being said, rate of Permethrin SFR for fleas/ticks in a yard is not set per gallon so we do not recommend a hose end sprayer.  Per the product label you would mix 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. Dense or excessive (greater than 3 inches) lawn height and arid conditions may require higher volume application rates. Repeat application if necessary. Application in combination with compatible surfactants or wetting agents may enhance penetration.

  • Asked by Izzie from Redmond, Wa
    11/29/2018
    Q
    Can I use Permethrin SFR if I have a toddler in the house?
    We have a mild infestation of fleas. Thinking of applying permethrin on all the carpets.
    A

    We recommend using an insecticide and an IGR when treating for fleas. While most permethrin products would be considered safe for people and pets once the application is competely dry, there are newer products which do not have the petroleum distillates found in most permethrin products or have the odor of them. One great product for indoor flea control is PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol, which is a ready-to-use product that includes an insecticide and IGR in one product. This specific product is classified as a Reduced Risk pesticide by the EPA. It is easy to apply and dries quickly and evenly. You can purchase this product alone or in our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit which includes the CimeXa Dust, also.

    Most flea treatment products last about 14 days for indoor treatment since this is the recommended retreatment interval for this pest. We recommend treating every 14 days for fleas as long as you continue to see flea activity. This is in addition to vacuuming indoors every day or every other day and treating pets with products approved for this use. We discuss these and other tips in more detail in our online Flea Treatment Guide here. 

    If you still have more of your IGR concentrate and prefer using an insecticide concentrate as well, then Zenprox EC is a great choice for use indoors. It comes in a convenient 2 oz bottle and also a pint. 

    Diatomaceous earth can be used either as a crack and crevice treatment for general pest control, or it can be worked into carpeting using a broom or carpet brush for flea control (be sure the product you have is labeled for this use). It will not interfere with other treatments when used correctly.

    Let us know if you have additional questions anytime.

  • Asked by Mary from Waco, Tx
    10/28/2018
    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
    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
    I mixed Permethrin SFR and Martens IGR for fleas. How often can I retreat?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8%  is a great product choice for the treatment indoors and/or outdoors for fleas and ticks. Adding an IGR like Martins I.G. Regulator impedes the insect's reproductive cycle. These products should be applied once every two weeks.  Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more information.
