Re: Kitty's mites

Well, I cleaned my chem cupboard a few years back.  Not much left.  When I
took my Guelph course on pests, Pirone's book was the bible.  So I got some
of this and that.  Eventually reduced to not using much of anything.  Still,
for something the MGs will be selling, I'm not trusting to just water.  The
Pyola (canola oil and pyrethrin) is reasonably safe and I think called for
in this instance.
