You need to be careful with Permethrin. It is not good to use if you have cats. If you have dogs then it is safer to use but can be bad for pets and humans in large doses. Also do not use around water sources.

Where do you buy permethrin?

for use at a home garden? are you sure you want to? its an organo-phosphate and a rather nasty substance to use at home. Another view: Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid, not an organo-phosphate. Many formulations of this pest killer are available. Read the labels to find one that is appropriate to a particular situation, and follow all label directions.

Is there a risk of mixing DEET with pesticides containing Permetherin?

Permethrin is a suspected human carcinogen. DEET is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It's considered safe enough to use on human skin (in low concentrations). A mixture of a permethrin-based insecticide and a DEET based one shouldn't be any worse than the permethrin one alone. We'd have to know more about what kind of risk you're talking about to give you a better answer than that.

How regular can you use Permethrin cream without side effects?

Permethrin is designed to kill insects and other non-mammals. It is not very toxic for humans. It is also poorply absorbed through the skin. Maybe taking a bath in concentrated permethrin could kill you, but any permethrin cream designed for use in humans probably has very little chance of doing anything that is not designed to. (Especially if you follow the directions). -Zach
