I need to try that. The skeeters were worse in my grass this year than the woods, rising up in broad daylight. Everywhere!

Thanks for the reminder about TSC! I picked up the concentrate and a $5 spray bottle on the shelf right next to it yesterday on the way home from work. Now I just need to read the fine print in the booklet about exactly what that mix rate is supposed to be. Just found this on a hiking site: "If you use a 10% Permethrin concentrate, you want to dilute it with 19 parts water and 1 part of 10% permethrin concentrate to produce a 0.5% Permethrin solution. For example, if you wanted to make a gallon (128 ounces) of a 0.5% Permethrin solution using water and a 10% Permethrin solution, you’d mix 6.4 ounces of 10% Permethrin solution with 121.6 ounces of water. If you do this using a 1-gallon plastic water bottle (shown above), you’d pour off 6.4 ounces of water and replace it with 6.4 ounces of the 10% Permethrin concentrate. Shake well to mix it up."

I still have 2 bottles of the concentrate in the barn. I lost one a couple years ago and I've discovered the quickest way to find something is to buy another one.
I also order a new refill pack for the thermacell last night. I'm taking all 3 of those to Missouri in September.
