A Brief History of Permethrin: Where it Comes from and How it Works

[@alf3553]

Permethrin works great, but the spray for clothing is hard to get in Canada. I’ve used the Sawyer products from the US & like it but why it’s not available in Canada is just stupid.

[@marcusaetius9309]

Spot on! From what I have seen the only products available in Canada are meant for livestock and you have to have a government document to buy it. Fecken ridiculous!

[@michaeldixon908]

I get mine from a local feed store that sells products for horses. It’s marketed as a horse fly deterrent, you have to read the label but it’s common for use to protect livestock

[@anthonyskata]

They have it for dogs. I just found it looking for a deet free alternative I believe the formula is a little different because of the dispersants but might be similar enough. It's from swayer Edit: it's the same formula. Maybe you can get it that way. If not I'd be willing to ship you some Sawyer permetherin branded for dogs

[@P.E.J.]

Permethrin is highly toxic to all marin life and to cats - so stop useing it.

[@LeftOverMacNCheese]

There's no Permethrin spray on my country either and j think I'm gonna opted to using 100% Permethrin insecticide, dilute it with water and spray it and hope it works

[@seansull]

He didn’t talk about toxicity

[@nobleharvey9935]

So my question is, why don't we have fields of chrysanthemums here in the United States 🤔 are they too hard to grow? Are there other side effects of growing them? Do they poison the air? Couldn't we use them as a rotator crop? Just curious.

[@soumya_sarkar96]

They are not poisonous

[@isabelle7321]

The Enemy wants to destroy us , as we are the light on the hill by proxy(blood thirsty , wool glutinous, and food greedy bugs), we must plant these flowers in our homes and gardens, if the Enemy refuses to do anything as such, we must do it for them,end of story!!!

[@AlsanPine]

not at all. i have many in my orchard. you can order them online easily and they are often available at local stores come spring. i encourage you to plant some if you have a yard. cheers 🙂

[@Billy420-69]

They are used as ornamentals here in the USA.

[@tinknal6449]

My guess is climate and production costs.

[@PeySohOnCod13]

Background music way too loud

[@L46C3]

Can anyone tell me - Does permethrin lose its strength when exposed to the summer heat of the car? I keep a mixture in my car at all time. I was told it losses it potency.

[@jb-ik8sj]

I was told the shelf life is 3 years.

[@whitefreeman5798]

is it safe to put this chemical that you said is a nerve agent on your kids every weekend and to spray your house garden and lawn down with it to prevent ticks

[@robertpayne5165]

the dose makes the poison

[@MegaMarclar]

its a nerve agent for insects. not for humans. it would take an incredibly massive dose injested to even feel symptoms to a human.

[@whitefreeman5798]

@@MegaMarclar that is not true.. i sprayed indoor flea killer in my house one room at a time closing it up until it was dry.. 2 days later 1 cat died and 1 was on its way to death.. it is not safe and its affects will build up over time.. it is not safe to spray your kids down every weekend for a picnic and if it can kill 4 pound cats with just residucal amounts how much do you think will affect a 20 pound baby

[@pmaint1]

@whitefreeman5798 Never spray permethrin directly on your skin. It is not a repellent like deet. You spray it on clothes let it dry then put the clothes on. You can spray your livestock and animal bedding and surrounding areas yard etc. but never on human skin.

[@tranquility9325]

Use Off for skin. It works well.

[@jb-ik8sj]

I sprayed 36.8% permethrin on a pair of ticks mating on my 14 month old puppy. 2os/gal. of water. 4 hours later I pulled them off and they are alive and well. Now I've put them into a coffee can to see how long they last. Maybe ticks have become immune to it. I guess I'll try malathion next. But that smell is terrible. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@adamdport]

I went hiking a day after applying a ton of it to a shirt. I watched tons of mosquitos land on my shirt completely unfazed. Pretty disappointed tbh

[@Billy420-69]

It's to repel and kill ticks. It works well for that. It has almost no affect on mosquitos unless you spray them with it.

[@bromma1979]

If it effects an animal with a much simpler nervous system than ours.... Then how would I effect ours that is more complex......?

[@P.E.J.]

mammals are not effected but Permethrin is highly toxic to all marin life and to cats - so stop useing it.

[@tinknal6449]

I know it's the only insecticide approved for use inside dairy barns, at least it was in the past.

[@JoeFidler]

Are there any health issues with humans, kids or pregnant people using permethrin?

[@WarlockWanna]

Great question

[@kellydavis4330]

It will kill your cats as it causes seizures in felines.

[@jennidillemuth-robb7215]

It can hurt cats, if they come in contact with it when it is freshly applied - safe for them once dried

[@JoeFidler]

@@jennidillemuth-robb7215 thank you 🙏

[@gins8781]

It irritates my respiratory tract when it is wet. After it drys it doesn’t appear to bother me at all. When pest control sprays they insist on people and pets staying away for at least 2 hours or until it drys. Seems to be sufficient even for my extremely sensitive lungs.

[@cabracove]

Pyrethrin was the main ingredient in Buhach, which was the best insect repellent ever made. You put a bit of the powder in the lid and burned it. A staple in Alaska cabins for decades. They quit making it. Too expensive to extract it from chrysanthemums now.

[@delphicdescant]

Breathing the smoke sounds kinda bad for your health tbh, but cool to know.

[@MagnetbergOfficial]

Some companies are still making it. It´s sold as a luxury wood bug repellent. 5 Litres are sold around 500€/550USD.Synthetic Permethrin for arround 50€/55 USD for 2,5 Litres

[@guyh.4553]

Glad i watched this! Very interesting. I was mostly interested about Pyrythririum as that is the only insecticide allowed to be used on what is stupidly named "organic" food. Every living thing is organic! Pyrythririum is also a great product as a barrier insecticide barring insects from entering one's home. What I am wonder is how long does Pyrythrin stay impressioned into clothing & shoes? Once washing the pants, I would believe that would leach out immediately. Very knowledgeable! Thanks for making the video.

I NEED THIS FOR MY SKIN CONDITION, ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I CONTRACTED SCABIES, I BELIEVE IT WAS FROM A CAT, SO IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS WITH THESE MITE ISSUES ON MY SKIN, I BELIEVE I CONTINUE TO KILL THE MITES BUT THE EGGS THEY DEPOSIT IN MY SKIN IS CONTINUING TO CAUSE ISSUES FOR ME, I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING INCLUDING IVERMECTIN TABLETS, I HAVE NOT TRIED PERMETHRIN..I'M SUPER HESITANT BECAUSE IT'S AN INSECTICIDE AND I REALLY DON'T WANT THAT TOXIN ON MY SKIN, ANY THOUGHTS GUYS?

[@leelunk8235]

@anti-islam9569 THE MITES ON THE SKIN DIE..THE EGGS IN THE SKIN DONT DIE..THEY HATCH AND REINFECT..THATS THE PROBLEM

[@madjack8893]

The 2 most widely used treatments for scabies are permethrin cream and malathion lotion (brand name Derbac M). Both medications contain insecticides that kill the scabies mite. Permethrin 5% cream is usually recommended as the first treatment. Malathion 0.5% lotion is used if permethrin is ineffective.Feb 22, 2023

At levels of 5000 mg/m3, pyrethrum is immediately dangerous to life and health. ~ wiki

[@DamnBoiya]

No your wrong you need to wear correct ppe when using permethrin or pyrethrum check the safety data sheet I believe section 11 has correct ppe or around there. Do NOT wear them as socks or treat clothing. When using pesticides always thoroughly read all parts of the safety data sheet!!!!!! And make sure the pesticides are labelled correctly. They are not drugs.
