How long does permethrin last before you have to treat again?

[Wiley]

I,m sure someone on here think it was Wiley told us he did,nt like fly,s and spiders in loft because of infection potential.

 

 

Unfortunately not me, i dont see flies in my lofts for some reason and not that i would want to, and spider webbs is how i know my ventilation is working correctly

How long does permethrin last before you have to treat again?

 

 

All depends on surface and type of lighting but from 30 to 80 days

 

Saturate loft for the first use and a quick spray will keep things in order weekly

Some info on Permitherin

 

Extracted for a WHO report

(World Health Organisation)

 

Permitherin Toxicity to birds

 

6.2.3 Birds

 

Neither an acute oral nor a dietary LD50 or LC50 has been estab-

lished accurately because of the very low toxicity of permethrin to

birds (Table 6). The acute LD50 is >3000 mg/kg body weight and the

dietary toxicity >5000 mg/kg diet. (Worthing & Walker, 1983; Hill &

Camardese, 1986).

 

The inclusion of permethrin at up to 40 mg/kg in the diet of laying

hens for 28 days had no adverse effects on the health of parent birds

or on egg production quality, hatchability, or the viability of the

chicks produced (Ross et al. 1977b).

 

This is a dog flea product

If this is given to your dog at 1ml dose it would be getting 742mg of permitherin
