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.

Well I’ve been told so many times in my life, by so many people, that I’m an animal, usually with an adjective included (horney dog, disgusting pig, dumb Jackass, etc) that I doubt that would be a problem.

I’ll have to go out to my garage and get the bottle to see what percentage it is.
