[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1808157, member: 15537"] Resurrecting an old thread that came up while I was looking at options to spray wooded pasture areas for ticks. I was looking at using a Permethrin based product for tick control. I found a product called Astro, which is 36.8% Permethrin. The label says it can be used on lawns. If you look on page 4 under "Application to Outside Surfaces" it has ticks listed under Pest, note 4 gives a rate for fleas, which seems to include ticks. I don't think it would be using it off label to use it to spray a wooded pasture area for ticks. Based on my reading of the label, I think it would be good to allow 12 hours before putting cows back into the pasture. To target ticks, it is probably best to spray in wooded areas or the edge of the pasture/wood area. I think I will use a spot sprayer and focus on wooded areas and loafing areas that are shaded. It probably makes sense to spray in the early summer when ticks are the worst. I also think we need to keep in mind that Permethrin kills many beneficial insects also, like bees. So I will focus my spraying on heavy tick infested areas and avoid spraying large areas. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.domyown.com/msds/ASTROINSECTICIDEPRODUCTLABEL.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
