I tried pyrethrins last year in the form of Diatec dust. It didn't have much of an effect. They would fly away when I dusted with the Diatec in the evening but would be back in swarms the next morning. Pyrethrins by nature degrade quickly. I'm not sure about Permethrins. I might try Pyrethrins again in a liquid form and see how that works.
