Anyone know where to get permethrin? Would like to douse my outdoor clothes.

Fly spray for horses has permethrin in it, hard to find permethrin in Canada. The wife said you can order it on amazon and bring it in but I haven’t bothered to look there yet, I’ll check the feed and tack shop near us first for fly spray.

Think again. They have been reported here. Just not as bad as the mainland yet.

50+ years in the woods here. I'm betting I'll never see one. Fleas on all of the squirrel tails I collect for salmon flies but nary a tick.

Bass Pro online sells it for clothing, probably it would get into Canada.

Some reading for you. I haven’t seen any either, but then again, I haven’t been looking.

Hey live and learn. It looks like they've actually found one of one type, even though they list umpteen sub-species and don't say if it was dead or alive.

Ortho Home Defense Max Ant Eliminator has .25% Permathrin. Used it last weekend, no ticks. Just sprayed it on clothing.

Where did you get it from, 25% is higher than the fly spray I can find.

I have found them on my self and pulled a few off of friends ,we were at a archery shoot close to Taber down at the river bottom they call scout island.
I'm sure there is some in other places here in southern Ab, yet I haven't found any on my pets or myself

Just a friendly reminder to those who have cats as pets. Permethrin is extremely toxic to cats. So keep kitty away from any and all permethrin sources... just sayin....
