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?
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.
