Yes. Permethrin is a widely used insecticide.
Tried Permethrin (and Pyrethrin) and just about all forms of insect and arachnid life seemed to bathe in the stuff like the wife uses shower gel...
Matt, it is not a contact insecticide, but is slow acting so the stuff can be passed on in colony insects. There are some very potent contact products that will knock them off nearly immediately; also, permethrin in strong doses can do the same. you must have some bad a.. bugs. I couldn't sleep at night.
