permethrin 13.3 mixing instructions

2.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

When handling Permethrin 13.3‚ wear long-sleeved shirts‚ long pants‚ and closed-toe shoes. Use chemical-resistant gloves‚ protective eyewear‚ and a face mask to minimize skin contact. Avoid inhaling fumes during mixing. Ensure all PPE meets safety standards for pesticide handling. Remove and wash clothing thoroughly after use. Showering after application is recommended to remove any residual product. Always follow the product label instructions for specific PPE requirements to ensure safe handling and application of the concentrate.

2.2 Restrictions on Use (e.g.‚ Cats‚ Pets‚ Livestock)

Permethrin 13.3 is not approved for use on cats or kittens due to potential toxicity. It is safe for use around children‚ pets‚ and livestock when applied according to label instructions. However‚ people and pets should avoid treated areas until the spray has dried. For livestock‚ specific dilution rates apply‚ such as 8 ounces per 66.5 gallons of water for horses. Always adhere to label guidelines to ensure safe and effective application. Avoid using the product on skin or clothing‚ as it is not intended for direct human or animal contact.

Mixing Instructions for Permethrin 13.3

Permethrin 13.3 is mixed with water at specific dilution rates (0.25% or 0.50%). For 1 gallon‚ add 2.67 ounces of concentrate to water. Always follow label instructions.

3.1 General Mixing Process

To mix Permethrin 13.3‚ start by filling the spray tank halfway with water. Add the required amount of concentrate‚ then agitate gently to ensure proper emulsion. Continue filling the tank to the desired volume‚ maintaining constant agitation. For general use‚ mix 2.67 ounces of Permethrin 13.3 with 1 gallon of water for a 0.25% solution. For heavier infestations‚ use 5.5 ounces per gallon for a 0.50% solution. Always follow the product label for specific dilution rates and application instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness. Proper mixing is essential for achieving the desired concentration and pest control results.

3.2 Dilution Rates (0.25% and 0.50%)

Permethrin 13.3 is typically mixed at two dilution rates: 0.25% and 0.50%. For a 0.25% solution‚ mix 2.67 ounces of concentrate with 1 gallon of water‚ ideal for general pest control and lighter infestations. For a 0.50% solution‚ use 5.5 ounces per gallon‚ suitable for severe infestations or high-traffic areas. Always follow the product label for specific rates‚ as they may vary based on the target pest or application site. Proper dilution ensures effectiveness and safety‚ avoiding over-concentration that could harm surfaces or animals. Mixing accurately is key to achieving the desired pest control results;

3.3 Examples of Mixing for Specific Volumes (e.g.‚ 1 Gallon)

For 1 gallon of water‚ Permethrin 13.3 can be mixed at two common dilution rates. For a 0.25% solution‚ add 2.67 ounces of concentrate to 1 gallon of water‚ stirring well to ensure proper emulsion. For a 0.50% solution‚ use 5.5 ounces of concentrate per gallon of water. Always pre-fill the tank with water to the halfway mark‚ add the concentrate‚ and mix thoroughly before filling to the top. This ensures even distribution and prevents settling. Follow these ratios for accurate mixing‚ whether for general pest control or targeted treatments.

Application Instructions

Apply Permethrin 13.3 to surfaces‚ animals‚ or premises as specified. Re-entry is allowed after the spray has dried. Use 0.25% for general applications and 0.50% for severe infestations.

4.1 Where to Apply (e.g.‚ Surfaces‚ Animals‚ Premises)

Permethrin 13.3 should be applied to surfaces‚ animals‚ and premises as specified. It is effective for treating barns‚ cattle sheds‚ and residential areas to control pests. Apply to animals like cattle‚ horses‚ and sheep‚ but avoid use on cats or kittens. For premises‚ focus on areas where pests are present‚ such as farms‚ livestock housing‚ and pet enclosures. Always follow label instructions to ensure safe and effective application. Avoid spraying on humans or pets‚ and keep treated areas inaccessible until the solution dries.

4.2 When to Re-enter Treated Areas

Re-entry into treated areas is permitted once the permethrin 13.3 spray has completely dried. This typically takes 24 hours‚ depending on environmental conditions. Ensure all surfaces are dry to minimize exposure risks. Avoid allowing pets or livestock to enter treated zones until the solution has dried thoroughly.

4.3 Additional Application Tips

For optimal results‚ ensure the sprayer is calibrated before applying Permethrin 13.3. Avoid spraying during strong winds or rain to prevent drift. Apply evenly to target surfaces‚ focusing on areas where pests are most active. For livestock‚ spray directly on animals‚ ensuring thorough coverage without over-saturating. Always mix fresh solutions for each use to maintain potency. Store unused mixture in a sealed container and dispose of properly. Avoid contamination of water sources to protect aquatic life. Follow all label instructions carefully for safe and effective application.

Troubleshooting Common Mixing Issues

Common issues include over-concentration and improper mixing. Ensure accurate measurements and thorough agitation to maintain effectiveness and safety. Avoid using contaminated water for best results.
