    Q
    I'm having a flea infestation would Permethrin SFR 36.8% help and how often should I repeat these treatments?
    flea infestation in my back yard...we live a wooded area lot of squirrels and birds. We've applied about 3 weeks ago but still don't seem to see a difference ..we used the 1.0% 5gallons
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% would be a great product choice for the treatment indoors and/or outdoors for fleas and ticks. Please add Archer IGR to impede the insects reproductive cylce. The products should be applied once every two weeks. We recommend mowing the lawn one to two days prior to the initial application. A minimum of two applications and up to four depending on the level of fleas. If you need anything else, please let us know.

    Q
    Will this kill grasshoppers?
    I am looking to treat 9 acres of pasture for grasshoppers, chiggers and ticks.
    A

    No, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for grasshoppers or chiggers, but it is labeled for ticks. 

    We would recommend using Bifen IT. It is labeled for grasshoppers, chiggers and ticks as well as various other pests. It can be broadcast across a lawn but is not labeled for use in pastures.

  • Asked by James from Indianapolis, In
    03/17/2015
    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR 36.8% be diluted with water to soak clothes in for tick control while hiking?
    Does this have any other active ingredients than permethrin?
    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. Permethrin SFR 36.8% does contain inert ingredients that are privy to the manufacturer. The inert ingredient part of a product is a trade secret and not disclosed to anybody.

    Q
    I want to mix Permethrin with mineral oil to brush on rollers of a 4 poster deer feeding station...
    To help reduce tick populations in my area. What ratio should I use to achieve a 10% concentration? Thank you.
    A
    Our apologies but we are not able to offer a dilution rate for getting a 10% concentration as the use you are intending is an off label usage of the Permethrin SFR and there are no instructions for mixing at that percentage on the product label.  We would recommend checking with your department of Agricultural for the best advice for controlling deer tick populations around feeding stations.

  • Asked by Joe from Suffolk, Virginia

    Q
    What Is The Expected Wait Time Before Permethrin Kills Fleas?
    I have applied Permethrin SFR as a broadcast spray inside my home, also mixed with Archer IGR, both per their respective manufacturer's instructions. The solution was sprayed due to a flea infestation that occurred while I was away for business (it is also a 100+ yr old farm house so very susceptible to bugs etc). Are the affects to be expected immediately or after a delay? I have had great success with previous purchases from you guys and have faith this will be the same, just not sure how long I have to wait. Many thanks for your help.
    A
    Depending on many factors such as insect type, etc  Permethrin SFR 36.8% can take minutes to hours to kill insects. Permethrin SFR is not labeled to be applied as a broadcast inside. You would want to use Archer mixed with a product like Onslaught labeled for broadcast. Please keep in mind that it can take at least 2 treatments to eradicate fleas. Be sure to keep up with the vacuuming too.

  • Asked by Andrew from Winsted, Minnesota
    06/06/2015
    Q
    If Permethrin SFR 36.8% is safe for carpets, why not clothing?
    If Permethrin SFR (in a properly diluted effusion) is safe for use on carpets, why is it not safe on clothing? I walk barefoot on carpets. My children have crawled on carpets. From reading MSDSs and FDA pages on Permethrin, human contact is only hazardous prior to it drying (while a liquid or vapor). If applied to clothing that is allowed to dry fully before it is worn, where's the risk? Are your compound's inactive ingredients contact toxins, or are you simply trying to discourage a use that is not formally approved for your formulation?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for use on clothing and is not formulated for such a use. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer for additional safety information. They can be reached at 281-892-2500 (Control Solutions).

    I am having problems with scorpions in my home. I would like to know if permethrin SFR 36.8 has a dilution to help control this problem.
    A

    Permethrin SFR is labeled for scorpions and you would use at a rate of 1 2/3 fl oz to 3 1/3 fl oz per gallon as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Can a mist blower be used with Permethrin SFR?
    Can a mist blower be used with Permethrin SFR for mosquito control? How long will it be effective?
    A

    Permethrin SFR can be used in a mist blower when used as directed on the product label, but it is not labeled for mosquito control. We recommend folks use a product such as Talstar P for a long lasting residual for mosquito control. Talstar cannot be used in a fogger but it can be used in mist blower, hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer for mosquito control. Talstar P would need to be applied once a month for mosquito control.

    Q
    What is the proper mix of Permethrin SFR 36.8% for fleas in a BONIDE Auto Mix & Spray Sprayer?
    A

    You can use PErmethrin SFR in a hose end sprayer as long as it can be calibrated to the required usage rate, though for fleas outside the rate is not set per gallon of water. According to the Permethrin SFR product label: For fleas, ant and ticks in lawns - Mix 0.4 – 0.8 fl. oz. (2.4 - 4.8 tsp) 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 surfactantsor wetting agents may enhance penetration

    Q
    How do you use Permethrin SFR for hive beetles with honey bees?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is very toxic to bees and will harm them if they come in contact with a treated area. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to find out what is used by individuals in surrounding areas without killing the bees.

  • Asked by Matt from Portsmouth, Nh

    Q
    What should I use for tick control?
    Hi, I recently purchased a property that has a healthy infestation of deer ticks. We have cleared and stripped the top soil on about 1 acre. Still have brush, vegetation, and trees all around the perimeter. I'm looking to purchase a backpack sprayer to spray an insecticide. My question is what is the best product to use?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for ticks in yards and it will offer some residual effects as well. The Permethrin SFR 36.8% product label recommends that you mix the product with a surfactant to help the product better stick to the foliage that you are spraying.  We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Permethrin to stop the ticks from being able to develop while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure.

  • Asked by Kevin from Toms River, Nj

    Q
    Tick control in 1/2 acre yard. I have kids, dogs and a lot of trees
    Purchased home last year that backs into woods (about 20 acres or so) and we had a lot of ticks in the house, on dog and even a couple on us. What is the best way for me to control that on my own? Foggers, sprayers, etc. and what products do you recommend. We also have a decent amount of mosquitoes.
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for ticks in yards and it will offer some residual effects as well. The Permethrin SFR 36.8% product label recommends that you mix the product with a surfactant to help the product better stick to the foliage that you are spraying.  Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your pets should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on pets for tick control.  Permethrin can also be used as a flea/tick dip on dogs.  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. The key is to apply to the underside of the leaves where the adults lay during the day. The Nyguard will also help with ticks as well. (Exciter is a pyrethrum which causes a faster kill but it is not an IGR).

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

    We also have guides here that can help on treating ticks and mosquitoes.
