Tools Needed

To properly apply American Brand Permethrin Granules, a push spreader or hand spreader is needed. We recommend using the push spreader for broadcast applications and the hand spreader for small localized applications.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much American Brand Permethrin Granules to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure (in feet) the length and width of the treatment area and multiply them together. The rate of application for insects on turfgrass and a barrier treatment around buildings is 3.2 oz of American Brand Permethrin Granules for each 100 sq. ft. area (5 ft. x 20 ft.) or 2 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. of area. For example, if you measured a 2,500 sq. ft. area to treat, you would need 5 lbs. of Permethrin Granules. For heavy lawns such as St. Augustine grass increase rate to 3 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. equal to 4.8 oz. per 100 sq. ft. Insects in the soil like grubs use 2 1/2 lbs. of product per 1000 sq. ft. equal to 109 lbs. per acre. To get rid of imported fire ants, gently apply 1 cup of granules over and 2 ft around each ant mound.
• Step 2: Pour the correct measured amount of American Brand Permethrin Granules into the spreader and follow the product label to find out the spreader settings.
• Step 3: Apply the American Brand Permethrin Granules to the treatment area. Walk with a steady pace to disperse granules evenly. The best way is to do at least two passthroughs perpendicular to one another. To perform a barrier treatment around listed buildings, then apply a 3 to 5 foot barrier band of American Brand Permethrin Granules next to the buildings foundation.
• Step 4: After making a complete application, lightly water the treated areas to help the granules penetrate the soil for maximum effects. Do not mow treated area until granules have been watered in. Repeat this products application if new insects appear.

Where to Use

American Brand Permethrin Granules can be used outdoors on residential lawns and turfgrass, and as barrier/band treatment around commercial buildings and homes.

When to Use

When controlling for ants, apply this product in cool weather, 65° to 80° in early morning or late evening hours. Treat new ant mounds if they appear.
