[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2612396, member: 796"] Our local Atwoods has the Permethrin concentrate at $10 for 8 oz. I used a bottle in a hose end sprayer this summer to kill out a serious infestation of wasp nests. Same stuff as in the Wasp spray cans, lots cheaper if you need quantity. Permethrin is a nerve toxin that paralyzes the critters; devastating to the stingers and biters, safe for humans. Also I make dilute spray for repellent on clothes by putting a couple of teaspoons of concentrate in 28 oz of distilled water, about same as Sawyer strength. Use plastic spray bottle. The diluted Permethrin was one of the few sprays that would keep deer ticks off us when hunting the Land Between the Lakes (in KY). Started using it about 1970, before Sawyer was available. Safety note P.S. Don't breathe it, eat it, or spray it on your skin. I spray it on the outside of outer clothes until they appear damp, then allow to dry thoroughly. [/QUOTE]
