Thanks for the heads-up, Neil. I mixed my spray at a ratio of 1 part
rubbing alcohol:2 parts water and a little squeeze of dish soap. Now
that I think about it, I might actually have an old bottle of Safer's
hiding around here somewhere. If I can find it, I'll use it for my
follow-up spray in a couple weeks.
Hopefully I can get rid of the fuzzy wuzzys without too much fussy wussy.
