Mixing Permethrin and Carbaryl

[Twisted]

Have any of you ever mixed Permethrin with Carbaryl to spray a pasture for flies and ticks and anything else that eats plants and animals including me? I've got a serious tick problem and after spreading chicken litter on the pasture it seems like the fly population quadrupled in a week.

I've mixed Permethrin with Prentox/PB0-8 at 7.4%, which is the equivalent of Fly Ban or Ultra Boss at 5%. Includes a gallon of corn oil and a little diesel. Ultra Sabre is 3 oz Lambda-cyhalothrin, 6oz PB0-8 and 1 gallon of corn oil and a little diesel.

You will likely kill a lot good bugs and not get the results on the others that you want. If you have what they want, even if you kill what is there, more will just file back in.

CO-Ral for the cows and OFF or some kind of spray on your pants legs for you.

Eat more cayenne and garlic

Look into using Bifenthrin for the ticks.

You may also want to consider mineral with CTC as a preventative against anaplasmosis. Requires a VFD. I start using it a few weeks to a month prior to heavy tick season and continue until generally Oct/Nov.

Might work on the adults, but seed ticks will just laugh at that stuff.

It says to not use on pasture or near ponds. The Carbaryl (liquid Seven) says they can graze it after 4 hours. Problem is it only kills the ones that are crawling at the time of spraying. The Bifenthrin says it keeps working though and can be sprayed about everywhere except on stuff that will be eaten or around any aquatics. I may try that around the house place and shed I'm building.

I use that same mix, but I think he is talking about spraying it on pastures not cattle.
