PAM/Permetharin

I'm in the process of treating my stuff, and was just wondering if wiping down the enclosure with a saturated paper towel would have the same effect. I'm trying to prevent it from becoming an aresol like mist if at all possible.

And I realize I spelled that wrong. I just can't edit it. Lol

It should. I would use a less expensive permethrin option such as the NIX/RID (2 oz cream rinse per 1 gallon of water) or Permethrin-10 (1/4 oz per 1 gallon of water) solutions. If you use the aerosol to get a paper towel wet you will waste a lot of the product.

I got a bottle from a farm supply store and made a half batch. ( 1/2 gallon of water and 1/8th oz ) I'd rather not have it all in the air in my house y'know?

Side note - freaked out on an 8 legged visitor in my bathroom and hit him with the spray. Took a little bit but it killed him! Lol

Yeah that sounds correct for the P10 mix. If you don't want to spray then pouring a little onto a paper towel and wiping the enclosure, hides, etc. would work. You could always spray the paper for substrate outside.

I don't like them much either but I make my husband take them outside since they eat other nasty insects like stink bugs. So, they're allowed to live, just not in my home.
