again with thermacells

[one shot scott]

I have HEARD that they may be discontinuing thermacells.(ontario)Anyone know if there is any truth to this? something about them actually being a pesticide, and pesticides are now banned. dont know what to think about this "info", I am just glad I bought one 2 weeks ago (and I know how to refill the pads)
I guess if this is true than citronella would be on the hit list too

[mikej]

i haven't heard anything like that, but i guess i better get one quick just in case

[NewGuy]

now, about this pad refilling. Can you share?

[one shot scott]

I dont know what to think about this Mike, seems like a bit of a stretch. There is soo many mild pesticides that I dont know if they could ban them all. All the paranoia would drive up sales though

Yeah, Its thanks to fogducker for posting that information a week or more ago. Go to the pet store and get pyrethin dip. soak the pads in that.

I have not tried this yet, so I do not know how well it works.

[NewGuy]

right on, thanks I picked up some butane refills at the shoppers drugmart on the clearance rack and now i can use them:)

that's true if they did ban them they would have to ban stuff like raid and deep woods muskol too, wouldn't they?

A shop I frequent said they had to get their pesticide licence to stock them.

All of this sounds like regulation gone to seed to me!

George Washington was right when he said:

Government is like fire;
A dangerous servant,
And a fearsome master.

You can always buy them from a QC guy (remember the counterfeit marguerine).

This pesticide ban is foolishness .
I just checked out the round up at Canadian tire 5 liters ( premixed ) in a

little spray container $ 29.00 guaranteed analysis is 7 grams/ litre of

gyphosate. The concentrate I use on the farm has 540 grams / liter .

My cost is about $ 15.00 / liter .

540 gram / 7 grams liter = 77.14 liters of diluted solution .

77 liters / 5 liters per jug = 15 jugs of diluted Roundup

$ 29.00 ( cost per jug ) X 15 jugs (yield per liter of concentrate ) =

$435.00 .

That is some very expensive water .

That is some very expensive water .

Indeed, it is.

It wasn't that long ago Ontario had Deet products pulled from the shelf, and quickly afterwords they were recomending using it for West Nile protection.
I doubt the Thermacell is going anywhere.

I used to use gramoxone on places where I didn't want grass.
