Durvet Permethrin 10%, 8oz

All the hype about " pyrethroid resistant" bed bugs is mainly just noise, unless you overuse this stuff. This permethrin drops bed bugs fast.. just like the title states. Fact is, even dish detergent soaks through a bed bug's exoskeleton and kills it within a few seconds, so wasting a lot of money on very expensive chemicals really isn't necessary. Yes, permethrin has an odor similar to other petroleum products, but it gets the job done, and is a wide spectrum pesticide that kills basically any insect that is crawling. Save your money and go with this stuff. Edit: About 3 months ago.. we brought in a rescued kitten, and apparently the kitten brought with her a hoard of fleas. Along with cars comes the very common flea problem! Since I already had this permethrin concentrate sitting around... I gave it a try, and this is my conclusion from the results: After spraying the permethrin, I realized that whenever it is wet.. it's effective, but once it dries, it has next to no residual power... Only direct knockdown power. I found that once I treated my blanket with a stronger ratio, the fleas left us alone for the night, and if they were to crawl in the blanket .. they'd die from the permethrin piercing into their exoskeleton. You really should use a residual concentrate called Conquer mixed with an insect growth regulator if you want to defeat a flea colony, but this permethrin is a great repellent. Pest control is a learning experience, and I invented my own truck to make this permethrin residual as hell. Take some vegetable oil in a glass bowel (permethrin washes from glass very easily) and mix in a strong ratio of permethrin. Apply that oil/permethrin mixture to a paper towel and spread it along your borders of your home. Now that the secret is out... You have a residual permethrin insecticide! That's the only difference in residual VS non residual sprays (the oil) companies simply add in a light oil that's usually too light to hold the chemical in place for the advertised time. I sincerely hope this helps anyone out there that is actively fighting the battle against these parasites! This is hands down 👇 the best permethrin that I've ever purchased and tends to last long.

This stuff works great! Takes a little time for the smell to dissipate, but bugs are no where to be found! yay!

This has been the absolute worst year for flies. It’s just a plague of them everywhere. This product works well but needs to be applied daily. We spray around the outside of the door and around the porch. Works well on the steer and around the dog kennels. However this cannot be used around cats, according to the label it is toxic while still wet to cats. I just avoid using it around cats all together

I use this in my yard usually twice during the summer. It really works just like it says. It is effective controlling chiggers. We get lots fewer ticks and chigger bites. It is very easy to use, but you do have to have one of those spray bottles that attach to the end of your water hose.

Great deal on this product. Easy to mix and apply. Works!

Horrible smell like paint thinner. I don’t recommend this because it smells. There are other products just as effective to use. But I suppose this one is less harmful to humans.

Mix according to the instructions into a spray bottle, and will kill any bug/wasp/tick. 0.5% solution to spray your hunting or hiking clothes, let them air dry, and you are tick and chigger free for at least a couple washes. Same ingredients as the spray you buy in the yellow and black spray can at the outdoor store.
