Customer Reviews for Permethrin SFR 36.8%

This product is easy to use and it works. For home use to control almost all the pests around the house inside and out. Used in Arizona for termites, scorpion's, or any spider, this product does the job. I use it at a medium strength concentration and have used it for a couple years. Thanks for providing such a good home use product :)

This product knocked down our backyard flea problem in less than a day. We had hundreds of fleas due to some feral cats that had kittens under our deck. It was awful. Our dogs were really suffering. One pass around the yard in the morning and by the evening the "white sock" test produced NO fleas. Great product. Mixed with IGR and still no fleas after 2 weeks. I also should note that DMOPC was really great. Our first shipment was lost by the USPS and they sent a new order, no charge immediately. Best service ever!

After some extensive researching on the DoMYown...website this past summer, I purchased both the Delta Dust, Permethrin SFR and Nyguard IGR to combat a stubborn flea infestation. After just two applications (one app in July and another app two weeks later in August) they are gone. I've been battling these stubborn pests for a year with some success, but now they are truly gone. WOW! I still have 1/2 bottle of the dust and almost all of the other stuff left.

I live in an area that had an infestation of bedbugs, a few cases of fleas and scabies . I used Permethrin 10% to treat the latter two with great success. I do not want contact a bedbug infestation. So I purchased Permethrin SFR (36.8%) and use as a pesticide control and barrier in my apartment. I spray every 60-90 days. I have NO MORE BUGS and don't anticipate a bedbug problem. I pray.

I haven't actually used this product yet, but have examined it and its smell, and it appears to be The Stuff--not just a fake synthetic. I have used permethrin in other low grade mixed pesticides--but I want something stronger.

Product is only a fair substitute for the pyrethrin it is supposed to replace. Too bad we can't get DURSBAN any more - or anything else that really works well. Order process was good. Delivery was prompt. Price was about same as local hardware store.

Quick delivery. I have used it once since I recieved. Little early to tell but it appear to have been very affective. I've been using 10% in the past so plan of this working well and lasting longer. It rained 2.8" shortly after I had sprayed so that will have an affect. While I was spraying I noticed moths acting drunk within a few min.

Cicada Killer Wasps are supposed to be beneficial and harmless, but if it has a stinger, it's got to go. I bought this in hopes that it would clear the wasps out so my dogs and I can enjoy my deck in the morning where they congregated. 3 treatments later and they either died or moved on. And I still have enough pesticide for the next 4 summers if they ever decided to come back. Beats calling in a professional monthly that costs ten times as much. Once it dried, it didn't seem to bother my dogs. They love sitting in the grass and basking in the sun and enjoy it even more now that there aren't any nasty critters flying everywhere. I'll definitely continue using this stuff.

The product works well and is very affective. Since I've been using the product my bug issues have been eliminated. The product needs to be shipped in a better packaging material because the last shipment leaked into the packaging. It was wet inside and outside the package. I don't believe this is go for the handlers/shippers or the purchaser. Thank you for asking.

This seems to be a really good insecticide for crazy ants in the houston area. These ants are difficult to exterminate and this stuff works well.

Being a pest control operator though simi retired now....I have been using permethrin insecticide even before the SFR Emulsifiable Concentrate was introduced. Permethrin is non selective... and is labeled for general pest control and as a termiticide and as such...read the label and follow label rates and application procedures. It is the law!! Permethrin SFR is easy on the lungs and nose...so you won't experience heavy insecticide smell like bifenthrin does. Having five cats...one likes to visit the neighbors..and he brought some hitch hikers home and they bite....fleas. Though I vacuumed hibitually and spent a lot of money on Advantage for cats....Advantage only works for a few days and is metabolized by cats systems and the flea infestation grew. I bought the over the counter carpet dust and worked the dust into the carpet..the fleas were still winning with my white socks attracting multiple fleas to the point I would have to pick a dozen or more fleas at a time in the bathroom flushing the fleas down the toilet. It was an intense infestation and me being a pest control operator was embarrassing!! There isn't much of any sort of insecticide available at big box home improvement stores with rather smelly socalled concentrates...so I finally ordered the Permethrin SFR and Archer growth regulator from Do My Own...the order was shipped vety rapidly and products arrived rapidly. That was impressive I will say. Got my B&G out..cleaned it up (Recall I'm semi retired doing mostly home plumbing repairs and minor home improvement jobs... used 1/2 ounce of Permethrin SFR and one ounce of Archer...vacuumed carpets/floors and living room furniture...and lightly sprayed the furniture with cushions removed and all floors. Left the house with windows open for a couple of hours and checked to be sure carpets/floors/furniture were dry before continuing life. As of this post..the fleas have been eradicated...not a single flea bite and cats have cleared up as well. Yes we still vacuum very regularly..but the Archer growth regulator affects fleas reproductive organs while the Permethrin SFR gave the kill punch to dump the flea population. As mentioned...read the label..all the info is there to get control of your flea infestation or most any general structural pest problems..spiders...ants...crickets..earwigs...roaches....even using a cheap $9.00 HD pump up sprayer. Save your money..do your own pest control...Do My Own has professional products and great pest resource info as well....but read the labels!!

I use Permethrin SFR 36.8% to control pesky insects around my homestead. Mixed at varying dilutions I can apply to chicken coops/runs 2X yr at clean out and if I have a northern mite infestation it's really the only solution in/around the poultry area and even on the birds . Living in a forested area ticks are a problem so I spray my dogs. I live in a mountain area where Japanese beetles will decimate anything worth growing - roses, fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, currants and the list goes on... I've tried big box store products and NOTHING is as effective around my homestead s this product. The instruction booklet is quite thorough so make sure you're using the product dilution according to instructions and you'll have the best all around insecticide. And, remember because Permethrin has a long half life it continues to act as an effective insecticide for a long time so I find spraying fruit trees AFTER pollination - mid June here in Z7a is usually good for the entire season. Also be VERY careful to not spray when bees and other pollinators are present.

This works well for Fleas and Bedbugs. Need to use for about 2-3 times for fleas, eggs hatch so we do once, then again in a week and again in another week. Bedbugs, we use for about three weeks.

It took about two weeks, but it seems we have turned the tide on the flea problem with a dose of Archer IGR along with Permethrin SFR 36.8% - 1.

I've used this product for years and have had excellent success with it. In all that time no bug of any sort has ever crossed into my home. I stand behind this product 100%.

I was having a problem with ants and other small insects. I sprayed around the baseboards with Permethrin SFR 36.8%-1 and the problem is solved. I would purchase it again.

I like this product, I use it to get rid of fleas, ticks and termites. I spray the yard front and back and then all around the home and garage. I have used it for years and i am pleased with it. You have to be careful using it around pets, i wait a few hours before i let my dogs out in the back yard after spraying, to be cautious.

I used a hose end sprayer set at 1.5 oz for the entire yard, something I later read was the right setting for the foundation perimeter only. At that mixing ratio I would've expected to not see any ants setting up hills in the cracks of my driveway, although I didn't spray the driveway, so that may be the reason why they still exist. I occasionally see an ant crawling on the bricks of the foundation of the house, and I sprayed that well. However, I no longer see yellow jackets flying into the grass and haven't seen an earwig since spraying. The spray also seems to have wiped out an infestation of caterpillars in the trees I sprayed. Except for the ants, I'm very pleased!

I have a infestation of cockroaches it has been tiedious, but I think its finally working. treatment after treatment. nothing has worked. its decent stuff, but for future refrence if your going to try and tackle this mountain by yourselves use bait first. Sereously it has taken near a month and a half and they continue to come back. these little bugs are resiliant. I purchased more cyphermethrine I bought this, because it has a broader spectrum for killing. This stuffs poisonous to mice cats rats and other unwanted pests, but I hear cypher works better for bugs.

Transaction was easy and fast shipping. I used Permethrin sfr for the first time around my house and on my landscape shrubs. We had ants earlier this spring and my shrubs were covered with spider webs. I tried a over the counter product that didn't even phase the ants and spiders. After using Permethrin sfr the ants and spiders are gone and I'm seeing some dead bugs in my garage. It's working, thanks to Do my own Pest Control!!

We had thousands of box elder bugs on the sunny side of our house. One application of Permethrin SFR knocked them quickly dead and it seems to have a residual effect also.

Started applying this a few years ago. Single application of 1.5 oz per gallon of water in late May. Spray the foundation plantings and the perimeter of the yard and woodland paths. Have not found a tick on anyone since we started using this. It is easy to dispense and apply.
