Active Ingredient: Permethrin 36.8%

Formulation Type: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)

EPA Reg. No.53883-118

Residual Duration: Up to 90 days

How Tick Tubes Work:

Tick tubes use a proven host-targeted tick control strategy:

1. Cotton balls are lightly treated with diluted Permethrin SFR
2. Mice collect the treated cotton for nesting material
3. The permethrin kills ticks living on the mice
4. Tick populations are reduced before immature ticks can spread

This method helps target blacklegged ticks (deer ticks) and other tick species commonly associated with rodents.

Where to Place Tick Tubes:

• Along woodlines and fence lines
• Near brush piles and stone walls
• Around sheds and wooded property edges
• In shaded areas where mice travel
• Around gardens and natural landscaping

Deploy tubes approximately 10–15 feet apart in areas with known mouse and tick activity.

How to Use the Tick Tube Pack (Quick Guide):

1. Put on the included chemical-resistant gloves
2. Dilute 0.1oz. of Permethrin SFR to 16 oz. of clean water in the provided spray bottle. Agitate mixture.

Why Homeowners Choose Tick Tube Packs

Traditional yard sprays only provide temporary tick control. Tick tubes help address the problem by targeting ticks directly on rodents, one of the primary hosts responsible for spreading immature ticks across properties.

This makes the Tick Tube Pack an effective addition to a complete Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tick control program.
