Prentox Perm-X 1E Insecticide
Prentox Perm-X 1E Insecticide
Prentox Perm-X 1E is an insecticide concentrate that serves as a general treatment of a broad range of insects thanks to the powerful active ingredient Permethrin 13.3%.
Prentox can control indoor and outdoor pests and can even be spraed onto dogs to treat for ticks. We recommend a 1-gallon sprayer for easy applications. This product can be mixed with an insect growth regular (IGR) or a synergist (PBO or Piperonyl Butoxide) for greater results.
Tools Needed
To apply Prentox Perm-X 1E, you will need either a hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer.
How to Use
- Step 1: Measure the square footage (length x width) of the area you wish to treat to determine how much Prentox Perm-X 1E you will need. The typical rate for treating in and around the home and yard is a 0.25% emulsion of concentrate which is 2.66 oz. to 1 gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. A finished gallon can also treat 1,580 linear feet with a 6 inch spray band.
- Step 2: Pour half of the amount of water into the spray tank and then measure out the amount of Prentox Perm-X 1E needed. Add the rest of the water into the spray tank, then mix or agitate.
- Step 3: Apply the solution to the desired areas in a fine/coarse low-pressure nozzle setting and wait for the treated areas to dry before entering. Repeat treatment in 7 to 14 days if infestation continues.
