  • Asked by Cindy from Montgomery, Alabama
    08/11/2018
    Q
    How much Permethrin SFR 36.8% do I need to get rid of scabies in my house?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for scabies so we cannot recommend it be used. Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-Fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home is usually not necessary.

  • Asked by Nick from Kingman, Az
    03/14/2019
    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill scorpions, spiders, etc out of my house & yard?
    I just moved out to the far outskirts of the Kingman, AZ area. We keep our house and yard immaculate and do not want any "surprise" guests.
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% will kill scorpions that come in contact with it. However, a more effective product would be Onslaught Fastcap which is specifically designed for scorpions and other insects that are harder to kill. Onslaught FastCap is a unique insecticide that has an encapsulated pyrethroid plus prallethrin for quick knockdown. The encapsulation really helps products to last longer in the heat and sunlight in desert environments better than the Permethrin SFR would.

  • Asked by Sam from Florida
    04/03/2019
    Q
    What class is Permethrin? Can I use this as a Talstar resistance alternate?
    I do not want to use only one insecticide all season for control of chinch bug and sod web worm (Talstar). Bifenthrin appears to be losing effectiveness on these insects, is Permethrin the same class as Talstar?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is a synthetic pyrethrin like bifenthrin so they would work comparably.  Dominion 2L would be a good option to use for chinch bug control and is a neonicotinoid and systemic so is absorbed by the roots that these bugs feed on.  Best applied before they are active so it has time to be absorbed.

  • Asked by Michael from Sumter
    05/23/2019
    Q
    How do I use Permethrin SFR 36.8% for mole crickets?
    Bad mole cricket in yard killing grass
    A

    When using Permethrin SFR 36.8% for mole crickets the product label states you use 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. 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.

    06/19/2019
    Q
    Can I spray Permethrin SFR 36.8% right on a black ant hill in my back yard?
    I have 3 or 4 black ant hills in my back yard and I want to spray them with ( sfr ) should I spray and then stir the hill and spray again or just spray and not stir up the hill.
    A

    We recommend using 1 2/3 fl. oz of Permethrin SFR 36.8% per gallon of water for ant mounds.The label recommends that you treat each  by applying 1-2 gallons of emulsion to each mound area by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat a 4 foot diameter circle around the mound  so the ants do not move their mounds. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12". For best results, apply in cool weather, such as in early morning or late evening hours, but not in the heat of the day.

  • Asked by Jim
    03/16/2011
    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR be used to refill the commonly sold mosquito treatment agents that attach to a garden hose?
    If so, how much product would you put into the bottle before topping of with water?
    A
    Hose end sprayers are all calibrated differently. For instance, the particular sprayer you have may be calibrated to spray 1 ounce of product per 1 gallon of water but another brand may be calibrated to spray 3 ounces of product per gallon of water. The problem with pre-filled hose end sprayers is that you have no way of knowing how it is calibrated. We recommend that you purchase a new hose end sprayer that is adjustable. We have a great model available on our website called the Chapin Liquid Hose End Sprayer Model 6005. Permethrin SFR is only labeled for mosquito control on livestock premises. A better product for mosquito control outdoors is Talstar P. Talstar P is gentle on vegetation where you will be spraying for mosquitoes and it will last up to one month for mosquito control. When using Talstar for mosquito control, you will use 1 oz of product per gallon of water.

    Q
    Can permethrin SFR 36.8%,diluted to 0.5% be used to treat cloths for tick control?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be used on clothing of any type. We do carry Tick Block which was specifically manufactured for use on clothing for tick control. While Tick Block and Permethrin SFR 36.8% share the same active ingredient the base ingredients are very different and the products are not interchangeable.

  • Asked by Jay from Harrisburg, Pa
    04/30/2013
    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR effective for outdoor for Mosquito control? Does it need an IGR like ExciteR with it?
    Looking to spray small wooded section in back yard and 2 trees.
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for general mosquito control so we do not recommend it for this use. We usually recommend using Talstar P for mosquito control and it can be used with an IGR such as Nyguard IGR to help sterilize the adults. (Exciter is a pyrethrum which causes a faster kill but it is not an IGR).

    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR be used on beds and sofas where spiders hide?
    Is Permethrin SFR safe for human contact as noted above?
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for that use. To treat spider mites, we recommend using Onslaught as a residual to cracks and crevices, floors, window frames, door frames. You can also use sterifab as an on contact kill to be applied to mattress, and furniture.
