DURVET 2253554 Permethrin EC 10-Percent

Very effective with most of the insects specially ants.

The only thing I use for northern fowl mites! Great, cost effective mites treatment for my flock. Kills on contact. Easy to mix a super diluted batch for animals or a stronger batch to treat coops/outdoor areas. Aside from treating for mites, I use this to prevent flies in my coop. Making a strong batch and throughly spraying down the inside of my coop keeps the flies away for over a month. The smell isn’t overwhelming.

I originally bought this to use in my chicken pens and on my chickens for mites and other pests. I honestly didn't realize how many different uses it had until I started reading through the directions. I've sprayed the floors of my pens, around the pens and under my lean-to, and I've definitely noticed fewer bugs since I started using it. That's saying something because I'm in Florida and bugs are a constant battle here! What really surprised me was one day after spraying under my lean-to, I noticed a wasp on the ground dying within just a few minutes. I hadn't even sprayed the wasp directly. That was when I realized this stuff was actually doing something. The concentrate also goes a long way since you mix it with water, and the instructions give different concentrations depending on what you're treating. I like that it can be used for several different types of pests and areas instead of having to buy a separate product for everything. I haven't tried it on my sheep yet, so I can't comment on that use, but so far I've been very happy with it for my chickens and around their pens. I'll definitely keep this on hand!

Works. Stops most bugs, incl ants, that tracked into my house on one ocassion. I also have uninvited palm beetles, or, the odd cockroach trying to break in. I use it on sliding door rails, perimeter of my garden, the skirting boards. I used it on the front porch area too, since there are "community" ants from the shrubs trying to sneak under the door. (I put a door strip on the bottom to prevent most bugs trespassing) Those bugs that try to break in have been found dead. It will kill mosquitos and mayflies if they land on the solution, but, obviously they can fly away, hence an electrocutor is a good buy along with insect curtains for them. After the initial spraying, I use it as a control once per 15-28 days, depending on the season, especially on those sliding doors where the odd beetle tries to sneak in despite the insulation. Got the invasions down considerably. Just tp note. No, I do not ever leave food out anywhere. The bugs live in (vain) hope of a tasty sandwich, or, they find the air con appealing. The solution does not kill geckos, or, upset the birds or local cats, which is a priority. You can mix different strengths, guide on the bottle. You have to be careful with the product, do not use on indoor painted, delicate surfaces/materials. Store in a cool place. Spray indoors, then leave the area for a couple of hours to soak in. Use gloves and a mask preferably.

Durvet Permethrin EC 10% has worked extremely well for controlling insects. It mixes easily, covers a large area, and provides reliable results without needing constant reapplication. I dilute 1 oz of permethrin with 20 oz of water and spray my gardening clothes with it. After my clothing is thoroughly dry its ready to be worn. It effectively repels insects up to five washings before I need to reapply. I used to get eaten alive by mosquitoes and noseeums. So I had to come up with a more effective strategy. This premethrin has been a godsend! One thing I really appreciate is how economical it is since a little goes a long way when diluted properly. Overall, this is a dependable and effective product that delivers exactly what it promises. Great value for the money and a must-have for anyone dealing with persistent insect problems.
