Martin's Permethrin 10%

Martin's Permethrin 10%, manufactured by Control Solutions Inc., is an effective multi-use product that quickly knocks down flies or mosquitoes on livestock animals and can be used indoors and outdoors as a premise spray.

Features a long-lasting water-based solution with excellent residual activity of 28 days and a low-use rate of 1 pint of product to create 100 gallons of cattle spray and up to 25 gallons of dip for dogs with fleas. Martin's Permethrin 10% provides immediate control over severe pest infestations such as fleas, mosquitoes, and more in areas like stables or yards.

Permethrin 10% is ideal for ranches to prevent pests such as horn flies from attacking cattle and other livestock. It can also be used in residential areas to control cockroaches and other crawling pests.

Tools Needed

Applying Permethrin 10% requires a backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, ULV misting system, or a professional skid sprayer. We recommend using a handheld pump sprayer for spot treatments, cracks, and crevice areas.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For lawn spraying, apply at the rate of 0.5 fl. oz. to 1.5 fl. oz. in 3 to 10 gallons of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. The amount you choose depends on the pest you are treating. Indoor applications are done at a rate of 1.33 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water. Refer to the label for specific application rates and restrictions.
• Step 2: When making general applications using a handheld pump sprayer, shake the bottle of concentrate to mix well. Pour half the required amount of water into the pump sprayer tank, then add the amount of Martin's Permethrin 10% to the tank. Fill the tank the rest of the way with water and shake well, and you will be ready to apply.
• Step 3: Spray outdoor lawn areas and the perimeter of the building structure or indoor cracks and crevices with the mixture. Reapply within 28 days for continued control.
