Is this spray effective on floors, beds etc?

Answer by ChewySep 08, 2022
If using on upholstery or fabric, spray a small area on each item to make sure solution will not stain. Just make sure you vacate from the specific area for at least an hour once you're done treating so the solution can dry as well as giving the odor a chance to ease up. Make sure to wear gloves and if possible a respirator if your going to be doing heavy spraying indoors. Also keep pets clear of solution until its dry.

How about rabbits?

Answer by ChewyAug 25, 2022

Kills cats!

This product is highly toxic to cats and causes horrific neurological damage and death to cats who are exposed to it. I was dealing with a mite infestation in my chicken coop and needed a solution. The name “permethrin” sounded familiar, so I bought it, but when it arrived I realized it sounded familiar because I’d read about it causing death in cats. I immediately sent it back, even though I was told I could keep it. I didn’t want it in my house. I bought Elector PSP instead and it worked with just one application! It seems expensive, but one bottle of Elector will literally last a lifetime, you need such a small amount for each application and one application is all you need to wipe out an infestation, no need to reapply to kill the next wave of hatching eggs, like you have to with permethrin. I didn’t appreciate the fact that there wasn’t an obvious warning to cat owners on the permethrin product I originally bought, or on the Chewy product page. The time I wasted on this purchase caused my chickens to suffer needlessly.

Smells like petrochemicals and confused re: 10% vs 13.3% concentrate bottles

The Martin's Permethrin 10% Multi-Purpose Insecticide Concentrate, 8-oz bottle: https://www.chewy.com/martins-permethrin-10-sfr-concentrate/dp/371722. 1. This item

The Martin's Permethrin 10% Multi-Purpose Insecticide Concentrate, 8-oz bottle: https://www.chewy.com/martins-permethrin-10-sfr-concentrate/dp/371722. 1. This item supposedly has no petroleum distillates but has a very strong petrochemical odor that is intolerable for use on my dog's bedding and surroundings due to the awful smell. I requested a refund for the item, but I strongly do not recommend return shipping of the item because it is now an open bottle of insecticide chemicals. 2. There is another listed item on the website that has the same name as this item, but it does contain petrochemical distillates and will have a stronger petrochemical odor because it has a higher 13.3% concentration of permethrin. Despite this fact, the name of the listed item is the same as this item, "Martin's Permethrin 10% Multi-Purpose Insecticide Concentrate, 8-oz bottle." It has a separate link and item SKU. (https://www.chewy.com/martins-permethrin-133-concentrate/dp/371726). I advised Chewy to update the name of this item to "Martin's Permethrin 13.3% Multi-Purpose Insecticide Concentrate with Petroleum Distillates, 8-oz bottle."

Though it's not advertised for this, you can dilute this 20-1 water to concentrate (20oz water to 1oz concentrate) and spray/soak your clothes/gear in them, let fully dry, then wear to repel ticks. This one doesn't have the petroleum distillate, so it basically as no odor from my experience, but I would still say to apply it outdoors/somewhere well ventilated Seems effective to me so far! WARNING: Permethrin is dangerous for cats if they ingest/are around it too much, specifically when it's wet. After it dries, it /should/ be safe, but I would recommend keeping it in an airtight container away from kitties :) Google for more information/safety concerns.

Do you see anywhere on the jug that says 36.8% sfr? So how can you call it that? Even if item description says 10%, you can't just say it's something else in the title. It's misleading. What's even more concerning is I don't think they even sell it at all here. I would recommend this item if it was what it was said to be.

I am extremely angry with this product. I called the manufacturer, spoke with a local representative, and they told me exactly the dilution ratio to use for my Chicken run and coops. I followed their instructions and the instructions in the booklet to a T. I removed all the bedding and added fresh bedding and cleared all the poop. I told them we were having a serious fly issue. This stuff literally attracted more flies! I did another treatment a week later a little strong concentrate than the time before, and omg the flies have quadrupled! Idk what is going on. I saw many people mentioned it smells like diesel fuel, but it barely had a smell. I've used almost the whole product and it did more damage than good. I am livid
