I am looking to get permethrin to spray on my lawn to kill the ticks. Has anyone found a brand they like that works well. I have heard it needs to be at least 10% permethrin.

You can also use granules that you put down with a spreader before a heavy rain. There are many different brands. I use one made by Bayer. It says on the bag that it kills ticks. Be sure to follow the directions.
I wait until right before it rains or when it just starts to rain to put it down. This ensures it is going into the ground.
I believe it is recommended to treat the yard once in the spring and once in the fall. I only treat it in the spring, and I do not see ticks in my yard.

Bayer has a product, also Sevin has a granular spread on product. Much better to spread on a lawn than spray unless it;s a small space.
Spray is good for hard to reach areas, brush, high grass, play areas, wood piles, around your foundation and home, patios etc. Sevin is good for this application.
You can get at any home improvement store Lowes, Home depot or local lawn care place.
