Be cautious using permethrins. It is highly toxic to cats for example.

My vet told me to use a few Tablespoons per gal. of water and I have been using it for over a year and no issues at all. I know if you use to much it will kill them.

I heard there were problems but I have friends who use it and swear by it. I guess I need to try it.

I don't think your vet will probably be able to do the blood test. A state program or university is probably a better shot. Your vet should be able to point you in the right direction.
