I'll have DS1 pick some up at TSC. The ones I bought are .50% permethrin aerosols.

Interesting about the Pinesol.

My water hose has been fused to the faucet for since I got here. the hose end was brass colored, not brass and I could not get the hose off. Then because I needed more hose I connected another hose with real brass connectors to the one with not brass connectors, it fused up too. I've mentioned to my son for 3 years that it needed fixing and evidently he did not think it an emergency. Both hoses developed bubbles. Gonna bust bubbles. The second hose busted open about 5 feet from the end of the hose on Wednesday. I could still water all the pens except the pen with Red and his girls. I had to carry buckets of water to them. But I couldn't turn off the water between pens with my handy fitting on the end of the hose...........

Well guess who drug up from his job in Louisiana and is starting a job in Pecos Texas on Tuesday, and came home Friday night? Talk about timing!

He came over yesterday morning, I got out tools and he got the hose bib off the PVC fitting. I went to Lufkin and got a new hose bib. He came back over and the PVC fitting wouldn't seal up and it dripped. He put on more teflon tape and the fitting cracked open. He cut off the fitting (I had PVC cutter tool) and we went back to Lufkin. Lowes didn't have the threaded fitting. Went to Home Depot and they did, got 3 just because. Came back, it was 5:30 by this time so while I fed animals, he fixed the faucet situation. I now have a new hose bib with 2 new hoses with real brass fittings and I'm back in business.
