Permethrin mixture ratio…….

[ETipp]

For those of you that treats your hunting attire with permethrin concentrate, what is the mixture ratio you use?

I have some permethrin for animals and I have no idea how I should mix it.

If you don’t get an answer sooner, I can check when I get home from work tonight.

I’m not sure if the animal and human concentrates are at different strengths, so I don’t want to be responsible for your skin peeling off

How much you cut it depends upon the % that is in the concentrate. For example (see my chart below) for effective % it should be .5%. (One-half of 1%)

Years ago I bought an Ortho product that was 2.5%. So, to get it to the .50% I needed to cut it 1 part Ortho to 5 parts water.

Then I bought a product for animals. It was 10% concentrate. So, to get it to the .50% I needed to cut it 1 part product and 20 parts water.
