Sam from Florida writes

What class is Permethrin? Can I use this as a Talstar resistance alternate?

I do not want to use only one insecticide all season for control of chinch bug and sod web worm (Talstar). Bifenthrin appears to be losing effectiveness on these insects, is Permethrin the same class as Talstar?

Answer:

Permethrin SFR 36.8% is a synthetic pyrethrin like bifenthrin so they would work comparably.  Dominion 2L would be a good option to use for chinch bug control and is a neonicotinoid and systemic so is absorbed by the roots that these bugs feed on.  Best applied before they are active so it has time to be absorbed.
