I was told at Tractor Supply that mixing these two products with water & using it as a yard spray will get rid of all ticks. Is this true?
Malathion is not labeled for ticks and should not be mixed with Permethrin SFR 36.8%. We would recommend using Permethrin SFR at the rate of 04. to 0.8 fl oz per 1000 sqft for ticks. It would also be a good idea to incorporate an insect growth regulator (IGR) such as Archer IGR for complete control of ticks. All of these products are pet safe if used as directed. Pets need to be kept out of the area being treated during application and until everything is completely dry. Please look over our Tick Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing this pest.
