We would recommend using Permethrin SFR 36.8% at the rate of 1 2/3 oz. per gallon water 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.
Per the product label, when treating for termites, you will use the 0.5% solution rate, which is 1 2/3 oz. of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water. We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment to help do this. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for mole crickets. The labeled rate is 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.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labelled for many of the same insects as Bifen XTS and would actually be a good choice to use as a rotation insecticide. Typically you will want to rotate insecticides about every 6 months to prevent any type of resistance from developing when the same active ingredient or mode of action is used for an extended amount of time.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% should not be used on pastures where horses or any livestock graze and grass cannot be consumed after it has dried.

Permethrin SFR 36.8% should be mixed at the rate of 1 2/3 oz. per gallon water 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.
Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% would be a very effective insecticide to control ticks. It is labeled for ticks (including Deer Tick and Western Black legged Tick). Permethrin would be mixed at 0.4 to 0.8 Fluid Ounces per gallon of water to treat 1000 square feet of lawn and applied as a broadcast application.
Pine bark beetles are hard to control as they get into the veins of the trees. If infected it’s best to take the tree down and chip it. Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled for bark beetles. The mixing ratio is 1 2/3 fl. oz per gallon of water. It is recommended that you spray the bark on the tree but not to the point of runoff. Permethrin will also help protect other trees from becoming infected.
When applying Permethrin SFR 36.8%, you can chose any rate between 0.4-0.8 oz. Regardless of the rate you chose, you will still use it in 4-25 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. The higher rate of 0.8 oz is used for quicker knock down and longer residual.
You will need to use 1 1/3 oz. of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water.
We recommend reapplying Permethrin SFR to the cracks and crevices where you applied the bleach solution after it dries for this situation. For future applications, you will want to mop or steam prior to application to avoid residual removal.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is mixed at the rate of 1 2/3 fl. oz. for each gallon of water. Prior to treatment, carpets and furniture should be vacuumed thoroughly and vacuum cleaner bag discarded in an outdoor trash container. Evenly apply a direct spray as a spot treatment to infested areas such as crawlspaces, rugs, carpets, pet beds and other pet resting areas. Do not wet or soak. For crawlspace applications, the applicator must wear a respirator recommended by NIOSH for filtering spray mists and organic vapors. When treating upholstered furniture take care to treat between and under cushions. Pay particular attention to areas which are frequented by pets. Old pet bedding should be replaced with clean, fresh bedding after treatment. To control the source of flea infestations, pets inhabiting the treated premises should be treated with a flea control product registered for application to animals.
In most cases, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is mixed at the rate of 1 2/3 oz. per gallon of water for fleas. Please refer to the product label complete usage instructions. This can be used indoors and outdoors. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for more information on a successful eradication program.
You will apply 1.6 oz. of Permethrin SFR 36.8% per gallon of water for armyworms.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% will kill carpenter ants that contact the treated area. Keep it mind, it will not kill off the colony. You will need something that is transferred back to the colony. Please check out our Carpenter Ant Guide which lists our top recommendations for carpenter ant control.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% could potentially kill beneficial insects including nematodes if they contact a treated area.
We do not have any experience using cotton soaked with permethrin in tubes on rodents so we can not offer advice on this type of application. Below is the advice we usually offer for tick control:
Permethrin SFR would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor tick control. 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. All of your dogs should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on dogs for tick control.
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.
