Is the product Kathy linked the product you are thinking about Banty?

The Gordon's permethrin 10 is pretty cheap like $8.

Different brand, but I think so?

$8 isn't bad. Maybe I can find it for that.

Has anyone here calculated the dilution for the 36.8%, or am I going to have to sizzle my brain with math?

Some areas require a license to buy it up there.
Depends on what area you live in.

My concern about this is not knowing exactly what the other ingredients are. They all say "hydrocarbon solvent", but they don't say which one. I think phenol is a hydrocarbon, and I think it's toxic to birds.

Oh....
I get where you are coming from now.

Well, I made a call today and found out that Ectiban...which is labelled a livestock and livestock premise spray AND labelled for chickens, is considered class 4 in Ontario. I called a TSC store and was promptly told that a license is required to obtain the product.

I can walk into my feed store and buy Ectiban off the shelf. It's usually more associated in this area for use with cattle.

I'm going to ask in person...the next time I visit Saskatchewan if I we can still obtain Ectiban.

Phenol is a touchy product in larger percentages for any living creature I believe. It's used in very small amount of Wakins liniments and Red cote spray. It's used in hospitals as a disinfectant. Lysol that the public purchases does not contain it from what I've read.
