Will try these techniques, thanks for posting. I am wondering what strength permethrin you have? I am looking at some online and want to get the right one. I'm now currently eating about 8 oz coconut a day along with 2 tbsp coconut oil in warm water and 1tsp cayenne pepper powder 5-6 times day. I'm really not eating much else. Hoping they don't like my diet along with the meds I'm continuing and eventually die off with nothing but coconut to eat. Taking probiotics and vitamins, and gulp of kefir after cayenne/oil drink to soothe the fire. Life is good..
