Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled to be used for mosquitos in yards and cannot be used in a fogger. Fogging is really only going to kill those that are out in the area at the time of application and may make the area slightly repellent for about a day or so. Talstar P is our most popular product for mosquito control and would be a better option. It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well, which is where the mosquitoes like to hang out. It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.
