    Q
    How do i dilute Permethrin SFR for flea control in yard?
    I'm having trouble understanding your recomendations for flea control. One part of the instructions states 1&2/3 ounces per gallon of water. Then it goes on to mention flea control for the YARD .4 to .8 ounces per gallon of water. We just sprayed our back yard for flea infestation with 1&2/3 ouncers per gallon. When would one only use .4 to .8 ounces per gallon? Would that be for subsequent monthly "maintenance" only?
    A
    You can use any of the rates that you mentioned for flea control. The most common rates used for lawns would be .8 ounces per gallon. You will want to keep your grass short and target your sprays towards any area that holds moisture more than another. It can also help to use an insect growth regulator with the spray to help stop the reproductive cycle of the fleas. One of the best IGRs for this would be the NyGuard IGR which can easily be mixed and sprayed at the same time with the Permethrin to be applied at the same time.

    Can Permethrin SFR 36.8% on a garden with vegetables on the ground. Will roots absorb into plant?

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be applied to edible vegetation. It does not leach into the soil to the roots, but still cannot be used over veggies. Depending on what you are treating and for what, you could use Sevin concentrate.

    Q
    How much Permethrin SFR 36.8% to water do you use to treat for roaches indoors? Do you have to leave the house or let it air out after application?
    A

    You will need 1 1/3 oz. of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water when treating for roaches.  Everyone should be kept out of the treated area until everything is fully dry.  It is not necessary to air out the house as long as there is adequate ventilation.  You may want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing roaches.

  • Asked by Bart from New Bern, Nc
    05/19/2019
    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR 36.8 get rid of mole crickets and if so what is the application for a 1 acre lot?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Adam from Wisconsin

    Q
    How does Permethrin SFR 36.8% compare to Bifen XTS?
    Looks like it's used to kill same insects; just curious how it compares. I'm very happy with Bifen product but always looking for 5e next best thing. Thanks
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Permethrin SFR 36.8% safe with cats and dogs in the house? Can I safely spray permethrin on carpet and furniture without harming my cat?
    A

    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is pet safe if used as directed however we do advise that the active ingredient Permethrin can be extremely toxic to cats if they are exposed to areas that have not dried completely. Keep pets out of the area while treating and do not allow them to re-enter the home until the application has fully dried.

  • Asked by Per from E.bruns, Nj
    07/12/2018
    Q
    Would Permethrin SFR be the most effective pesticide to control ticks?
    What would be the most effective pesticide to control ticks? I am considering Permethrin, Demand and Cy-Kick, with an IGR if that is the recommendation. This year in central NJ we now have the Lone Star tick in addition to the deer tick. As part of the yard treamtent, I would also consider a bait box for small rodents that applies Fipronil to their coat. Thanks
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Marissa from Alice, Tx

    Q
    Will Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill termites?
    I found a little “mud sculpture” in my daughter's room. At first I thought it was mud so I went to get a napkin to clean it with but I got distracted and forgot about it. When I went back later that night it had grown and as I looked at it I could see tiny small white “worms/heads” kinda poking in and out. I've never seen anything like that before. Will this work? And how and where do I spray it? At what concentration?
    A

    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.

    07/03/2016
    Q
    Will a surfactant increase the effectiveness of Permethrin SFR 36.8%?
    I recently bought Permethrin SFR for various ants and it is working. Since the most recent rain we have had fire ants pop up everywhere and so I was wondering if a surfactant would make SFR even more effective. I am pleased so far with the results, just want even more fire power if possible. Also sometimes it rains soon after I spray so maybe it would stick better with a surfactant.
    A

    Yes, a surfactant can be used with Permethrin SFR 36.8% to help it stick better and increase effectiveness.  Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker would be a good choice.  You can find our other surfactants here as well.

    Q
    Is there a temperature outside in which it is too hot to spray Permethrin SFR?
    A

    You could spray Permethrin SFR anytime insects are active. We would recommend treating in the morning in the summer months since plants will be recovered from any stress from higher temperatures.
