Permethrin is a very effective and non toxic (for humans) insect repellent. It can kill insects but over time as its strength dissipates on the clothing or other area it continues to serve as a repellent. On clothing it can be diluted 20 to 1 for a 0.5% solution and applied with a garden sprayer for a very cheap clothing treatment. I recently us 3oz. of this solution diluted to make 60 ounces of solution and treated 6 pairs of slacks, 5 pairs of shorts, 12 pairs of socks, 8 shirts, and 2 hats at a cost of less than $2 in solution.

Buy this 10% or a stronger concentration and you can treat clothes for pennies. Pre-mix 0.5% spray is more than 20 times the cost of concentrated permethrin.

The spray needs to thoroughly coat the clothing to be effective and it lasts for 6 or more washings or one year, whichever comes first. No reason to apply at a greater strength unless you actually plan to wash the clothes every week over the course of the year.

Effective against ticks and sand fleas (used by US Army in Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq, and soon in Libya) to control the disease spread by these insects. With malaria bearing mosquitoes now found in more than 25 states in the US it is a good at home control method as well as being great for use on clothing worn outside the USA.

My fiance and I obtained a case of Scabies from a child in the family. Weeks of horrible itching. I bought this and mixed it 50% with body lotion and we used it like the expensive over the counter cream. Worked wonders and Scabies gone!!!

Best Deals for Permethrin 10% 32oz

I have used Pyrethrin many years for general insect control, inside and outside, with great results. In my opinion, it is one of the best natural insecticides available on the market. The reason for 3 stars is that I was not aware of the difference between Pyrethrin and Permethrin, and there is no mention of this anywhere in the product description. When I searched Amazon for Pyrethrin, both products came up leading me to believe they were the same, only labeled differently.

The difference being Pyrethrin is a natural extract from the chrysanthemum plant, and will not harm mammals, fish, or, birds. Permethrin belongs to the family of synthetic chemicals called Pyrethroids. It is extremely toxic to fish and cats, and has been linked to poisoning dogs as a flea/tick repellent. It is not as environmentally safe to use as Pyrethrin. Therefore, it is not the same thing, and I think buyers need to be made aware of this. Permethrin does work very well for general insect control, but I would be very cautious using it on dogs, or livestock for flea/tick and fly control. If you are looking for a "natural" insecticide, pay more for Pyrethrin. Otherwise this is a good product for general insect control, and is certainly less toxic than many commercial insecticide alternatives.

Honest reviews on Permethrin 10% 32oz

This is a great product. We live on 45 acres and have had problems with fleas, ticks, bull ants, wasps, and spiders. My husband sprays the yard about once a month, I spray the dogs each week and our horses when needed. You can not use it on cats. Our tick problem was so bad we could not walk outside without getting 10 or more ticks on us. We have a lot of deer that walk through our property which was a big part of our problem. It is so nice to go outside in bare feet and not covered with bug spray. I can buy this locally for $22 so this is a good buy. The delivery time was fast too. I have just started using it on dirt dabbers and wasps, works great on them too.

I have been using this product for years. I have two mixes that I use, one for indoors and one for outdoors. I have beaten back black widow spiders, tons of ants, those big black water bugs(cockroaches), fleas galore! I lightly spray indoors when infestation appears and spray outside around the home perimeter monthly. Also spray around the trash cans, BBQ, or anything stationary where bugs might accumulate.
