Spent a lot last year on the tubes, so I decided to try them myself.
Bought a 32oz bottle of Permethrin and cotton balls. I've been saving toilet and paper towel tubes. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IMO3I2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 So, what I've read says to spray the cotton balls and let them air dry. Then stuff the tubes... Is it that simple? Thanks |

Excellent topic. Have been planning this myself and am past due to start. I think it is just as simple as you describe. My idea was to follow one of the many tutorials for self-treatment of cotton clothes -which has worked very well for me previously. For those not familiar, the treated cotton is grabbed by mice making their nests and the permethrin kills the earlier ticks.  |

Quoted:
Anyone know what a good concentration would be? Some say 10% others 1%... The bottle comes as 36.8% Thanks Given that you are treating mice vs pets and the exposure is secondary to dried treated bedding, I would favor stronger vs weaker concentrations.. 10% is what I would use. |
