Duration permethrin 10% concentrate: Does anyone know how this product is applied?
153798
We just got it a few days ago. It comes with two large zip lock bags. You dilute some of the concentrate with water and shake. Roll up your i.e. shirt and soak it in the concentrate for a few hours. Take the clothing out and hang to dry outside. It sounds somewhat labor intensive, but worth it if it works. I read an EPA fact sheet on permethrin, and it stated that it slowly breaks down with exposure to sunlight and oxygen, so it is probably best to seal the clothes in a bag and store when you are not wearing them to make the application last longer.

Hello Carlos... The percentage of picaridin in the product is 10%, and then it lists 90% 'other ingredients'. If its of any help to you, I have been a mountain biker for over 40 years and tried every bug spray, crème and lotion that comes on the market. Skin So Soft, without question is the best product there is. It repels everything I have ever come across except Maine Deer Flies, and almost nothing stops them except Bear dope*. I highly recommend Skin So Soft and I have used it exclusively since I discovered it in the early 90's. (Bear dope, used by hunters to repel those vicious Maine Deer Flies, is in fact Bear excrement! And no way I was going to wear that!!!) I hope this information helps you. Hello Carlos... The percentage of picaridin in the product is 10%, and then it lists 90% 'other ingredients'.

It is hard for me to give you a precise time as each person might apply it in different amounts and at different intervals. For ME - I apply it on average every third day to my chest, full legs & feet, arms & hands - it has been in used over a month now and I still have at least a third of the 8 oz. bottle left. I do not usually bother with my back or my face.

Sorry about the delay in answering, just got back from Africa today. It's 0.5% Permethrin. We treated our clothes before we left. No insect bites at all in 2 weeks in Africa.

Concentrate is probably not the right definition. You will have to delude it with water and a mild dish detergent (ivory dish soap or such) to be able to spray it. I put the neem in little jars into my freezer as it does not stay stable at room temperature for extended periods of time and am now taking it out a jar at a time. Working great for me!

The only thing I was able to find was this; Active Ingredients: Permethrin (CAS No. 52645-53-1) (2%). Other Ingredients: 98%. This is what was on the can. I don't know what the 98% ingredients are. I hope this helps you. Carol

I actually wrote a blog post about how to web article on how to dilute it and use it as a yard spray for mosquitoes. You dilute it a lot for this application and a bottle like this will last 3 years. You can check it out here: http://blog.trebacz.com/2011/07/diy-make-your-own-permetherin-mosquito.html

Yes I have had very good results with this, better than other methods. I have had them out for about 2 months now and I started seeing results after about two weeks. I will change the after 6 months to be on the safe side. I highly recommend this product. Remember to use enough product and place them in the areas you see the most concentration, in kitchens, bath and laundry rooms and close to electronics.

Its rather like rubbing alcohol, actually its one of the ingredients. I think the best way to apply is with an atomizer.

Yes it is a concentrate and will last a long time. This is a preventative with in a few days of application. I use a dormant oil to treat scale.

You have to put this product in a sprayer that you attach to a water hose. So it is a concentrate.

That's what I used it for. I had a huge infestation of bed bugs. I mixed some of the powder with water in a large spray bottle and I sprayed everywhere, according to the directions that I found online. The packets don't come with any directions. Using the spray once a week for 3 weeks straight solved my problem.

This product is not an instant killer and full results may take several days for complete eradication. I hope you are using this product correctly, it is a barrier meant to be used behind walls to prevent activity. Hope this is some help.

I timed one once of 91% isopropyl and got right at a 10min burn time in the kitchen. Think I got 15mins with the same amount of everclear grain alcohol.

Given that they are from two different manufacturers, I'd use them separately b/c the two may not be chemically compatible. On that note though, I do know that Martin's Viper insecticide concentrate (that kills on contact) can be mixed with their I.G. Regulator (growth inhibitor) for a 2 in 1 application process. Hope this helps.

I spray febreze first then rub back and forth, it works pretty good. Better than anything else I've tried!
