Permethrin SFR 36.8% is really only labeled to be applied outdoor and thus we would not recommend for Bed bugs. Please visit our Bed Bug guide for the most informative tips and videos for a successful treatment.
We recommend that you clean the surface first and allow to completely dry prior to applying Permethrin SFR 36.8%, otherwise you will eliminate the residual that the product provides.
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.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be applied to indoor cracks and crevices when the children and pets are not present. They can return once the treated areas are completely dry.
Permethrin SFR needs to be down for at least 6 hours prior to rain for it to be rainfast.
Only the applicator should be present during the application of Permethrin SFR. Everyone (including the applicator) can return within a couple of hours after the surfaces have completely dried and the area has been properly ventilated.
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
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.
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.
