Durvet Permethrin 10% Insecticide Concentrate, 16 oz, for flea, tick, fly, lice and mite control

This permethrin 10 insecticide concentrate is a liquid supplied in a 16 oz (1 lb) bottle and contains 10% permethrin. It is intended as a livestock and premise spray for cattle, horses, sheep, goats and dogs, and the label lists fleas, ticks, lice and mange mites among the insects it controls when used as directed. The product is not for use on cats.

What the 16 oz bottle holds

The bottle contains 16 oz of liquid concentrate, and the active ingredient is permethrin at 10%. Because it is a concentrate rather than a ready-to-use spray, the contents are meant to be diluted before application; the label's directions set out the mixing ratio for each use. The unit count is 16 ounce, the item weighs 454 g (1 lb), and the bottle measures 10.8 x 4.4 x 19.9 cm (4.3 x 1.7 x 7.8 in).

Where the concentrate can be applied

The product is designed for two kinds of job: spraying approved animals and spraying the buildings that house them. Cattle, horses, sheep, goats and dogs are named on the label as approved animals, while the premises listed include kennels, restaurants, warehouses, swine houses, horse barns, cattle barns, dairies and poultry houses.

• Among the insects the label says it helps control are house flies, horn flies, fowl mites, poultry lice, bed bugs and darkling beetles.
• Fleas, ticks, lice and mange mites are controlled when the concentrate is used as directed.
• According to the maker, this gives quick knockdown and prompt control of the insects named on the label, used on animals and premises that are approved.
• One bottle is classed as a livestock and premise spray rather than a product for a single surface or a single species.
• The specific-use line names it a rapid kill insecticide concentrate for on-animal and premise use.

Animals and buildings it does not suit

Cats are excluded: the label does not permit this concentrate to be used on them, so a household with cats needs a different product for those animals. For dogs, the target audience listed is dogs, and use follows the label directions. Before treating any building, check that the space appears in the premises list, since the product is intended for the named livestock housing, food-handling and storage settings rather than for every indoor area. The bottle is sold as the concentrate alone (included components: DURVET - 745801310384), so application equipment is not part of the pack.
