Hello All!
I really need some help in figuring out how to dilute this liquid permethrin I bought to rid my birds of fleas. I would love to use Sevin, but it's banned in Ontario and unless I have a farm I cannot buy it from the farm store. My other option is DE (which I am considering in their dust bath, and Permethrin (liquid only).
I bought a small bottle of it - it's 250mL and the amount is 12.5g per Liter concentrate.
The label does not recommend use for chickens or hutches, but the farm store guy told me "off the record" that it works well and will be more effective that DE.
The label has instructions for diluting it for plants, shrubs, gardens and dealing with spiders....but of course nothing for poultry.
I have a 1/2 Gallon pump sprayer.
Please help me figure out dilution ratio!! I need to get them sprayed today!
