Premisis spray w/Pine Sol revisited

[pintopiaffe]

Sarahandsam, you reminded me, Listerine (well, the generic Gold version) is another ingredient I swap out/add to my mixture.

I pretty much don’t have a recipe, and don’t make it the same way twice in a row… I’ll adjust according to weather (more oily if it’s going to be wet, less oily if it’s dusty/sweaty) and what bugs are worst at the moment.

NOT that I have a scientific basis for which ingredient works on which bugs… :no: But… I do think changing things up helps prevent bugs that are resistant.

I just read here : http://www.pinesol.com/faq.php
and it says not recommended for wood surfaces incase some are thinking of spraying wood.

Probably because it is marketed as a household cleaner, and it could ruin the finish on furniture or wood floors.

Besides the Pinsol, I also used Quick job (https://quickjob.com/) and that worked for me as well.

I used https://quickjob.com/ on the flies as well. It worked great!

If you look at the label on the current bottles of amber colored Pinesol, you will see that it contains very little pine oil anymore–it’s just a bunch of chemicals. Personally, it does not smell like pine to me, but instead really cheap aftershave (makes me gag). I tried mixing it 50/50 with water and spraying; it had very little effect on the flies by me–I’ve had way better luck using diluted Odo-Ban (1/2 cup to a gallon of water in a pump up garden sprayer). Smell reminds me of Play-Doh from when I was a kid…flies hate it, and leave after I spray damp pee spots on the stall mats in my run in. I do shut the gate until the sprayed spots are totally dry to keep animals from coming in contact with it while wet. Odo-Ban is cheap–$10 a gallon, and a jug lasts me several years. I’ve been using it for 5 years, and none of my animals has had a reaction to it.
