Permethrin Pro: for use on carpets, lawns; kills termites, powderpost beetles, Oleander Caterpillars, Fleas, Ticks.
(Permethrin is also available in an aerosol spray, used to repel ticks on clothing)
“Professional Grade Permethrin” is a term we use for Permethrin products that contain at least 36% active ingredients.
Our most popular brand of Permethrin:
Permethrin SFR (same as Dragnet )
When applying Permethrin Pro indoors, use a pump type garden sprayer, such as the Chapin Sprayer.
Outdoor applications require the use of a hose-end sprayer.
Using pump type garden sprayers for outdoor flea or tick problems rarely works.
Permethrin SFR and 20 gallon hose-end sprayer are both included in our Outdoor Flea Kit.

Permethrin (Dragnet) has proven to be the best insecticide to use when controlling Oleander Caterpillars that destroy Oleander shrubs.
Wood Destroying Pests:
Termites, subterranean termite, ants, carpenter ants, wood infesting beetles, Powder Post Beetle, Old House Borers.
The high concentration means that very little product is used per application. For fleas, roaches, ticks, ants and other indoor pests, only 1 to 1.6 ounces of Permethrin is needed per gallon. When treating outdoors for fleas, ticks, ants, molecrickets, chinch bugs and other insects, 1 ounce of Permethrin will cover 1000 square feet of lawn. Works great in combination with IGRs such as Archer, Gentrol and IG Regulator.

After treated areas are dry, people and pets can safely re-enter properly treated areas. This material is “water-safe” for fabrics and will not harm lawns, carpets, furniture, flooring or pets, when used as directed. Remember to always follow label instructions.
