Chemtech Permethrin 10% Ec Qt

I bought this and diluted it to a .01% solution (about 1 tsp to 2 cups water- 5 ml:500 ml) and used a trigger sprayer to soak soak a pair of shoes and 2 pair of pants and 2 shirts for 4 people. It was tedious and making up a bucket of the stuff would certainly be more efficient. I liked the trigger sprayer because I pretty much used up all I made and didn't have to dump any or wring the clothes out. I sprayed the clothes outside, used a mask and gloves and hung everything out to dry over night. There was a chemical smell to the clothing but I thought it was very mild and didn't elicit complaints from my very smell sensitive son. We can all debate the problems with chemicals forever, but I had Lyme disease last summer and don't plan to stay indoors OR get Lyme again. As far as I can tell this did the trick and none of us got a tick bite when we went camping this weekend.

It's permethrin; there's not really a 'quality' rating that can be given, except that mine happened to have leaked all over the box it was shipped in. It works quite well as an insecticide, and is in a high concentration, so it can be mixed down to about 1% and still be potent.This Permethrin smells pretty bad (apparently because of an additive, not the permethrin itself); some people are more sensitive than others. It really doesn't bother me too much. But the good thing is that it has a very low toxicity to humans and *most* mammals. I was using it for bed bugs, and it seems to do the job. But it can be used for just about any insect, indoors or outdoors. Just read up on it before you use it.

I bought this for my trip to Ecuador. It's considerably cheaper as a concentrate than buying the already diluted sprays you find in the sporting goods stores.Add water to dilute to the concentration you want for clothes. I used 15 to 1, although 20 to 1 usually matches the sprays.Once you mix it, be sure to keep it tightly capped or in a very well ventilated area. I kept/used it in the garage with the big door open. Still fumigated the entire garage and crept into the house every time the house door was opened for a couple of seconds. I'm not sure the vapors are really harmful, but they sure drive you out of the house just on odor alone.Soak your clothes you want treated until they are thoroughly wet, wring out, hang to dry. I hung mine in the garage. Kept the garage fumigated for several days. The shirts dried in a couple of days. The jeans took almost a week.No problem with any bugs while in Ecuador. No problem with the clothes either (i.e., no skin rash, no irritation, nothing.)

Our rescued pullet suffered from recurrent internal and external parasites. She fluctuated between healthy and under the weather, and after seeing egg masses under her chin, we bought this product to try to wipe out the infestation. We used this per the manufacturer's instructions, even diluting it a bit more than suggested given her small size. The fumes were so overwhelming we triple-checked the math of our dilutions to be sure that we had followed the instructions properly. Our pullet was dead within 12 hours. Granted, she might have passed from the infestation, but I worry she actually passed from the fumes of this product, given how sensitive the lungs of birds are. I would consider using this product again in the future for severe infestations of coops or other livestock housing, but I will never apply it to another animal.

Knocks 'em down for a couple of hours, but long-lasting? I don't think so. Better than nothing I guess, but I really don't care for the chemical smell after use. I doubt it's gonna do your cows and sheep much good.

Received this product on time. I used it on my lawn and it immediately eliminated insects that were all over my yard. It worked well. The only compaint I had is that I had to find a sprayer or container that I could use to mix and use the product.

The 10% Permethrin works great to keep ticks off of you. I mixed the Permethrin with water to make a 2% solution and soaked my hunting camos in it and didn't have a tick or chiggers the entire spring turkey hunting season.

product was not clear about containing fuel petroleum.. do not use for indoor applications, no inside pets
