Jason,
Read the actual form of permethrin. Permethrin is a generic term used for the basic chemical compound, of which there are many forms. Provent-a-mite's is listed as (3-phenoxyphenyl) methyl (+/-) Cis/Trans 3- (2,2-diclorethenyl) 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate Cis/Trans ratio: min 35% (max 40%) {+/-) cis and max 65% (Min 60%) (+/-) trans
Phew. Try and say that in one breath. lol.
Basically that's the concentration of various chemicals in the permethrin, and if you deviate from that you potentially could create a toxic chemical for your reptiles, or maybe something that won't evaporate as it should.
