Has anyone tried to use Flea and Tick shampoo in a sprayer to kill mites, thrips, aphids, and other insects?

The active ingredients are:
Permethrin: 3-(phenoxyphenyl) methyl (±) cis, trans* -3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylate 0.1%, Piperonyl butoxide, technical** 0.5%
Permethrin is a broad spectrum insecticide, a chemical used to kill a variety of insects. Permethrin is referred to as a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide because, while manmade, it resembles naturally-occurring chemicals with insecticidal properties, called pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are found especially in chrysanthemums. Pyrethroids are one of the oldest classes of organic insecticides known (10). They work by quickly paralyzing the nervous systems of insects, producing a quick "knockdown" effect on insect pest populations. Permethrin acts as a stomach poison when it is ingested by insects or as a contact poison through direct contact with target pests. It kills adults, eggs, and larvae, and has a slight repellent effect against insects (7). The insecticidal activity of this material lasts up to 12 weeks after application
Is this to harsh for cannabis?

That's gross. Stop being cheap and lazy. Go to home depot and spend the $10 for a safe organic pesticide like neem. Bonticide makes good stuff.
