DIY Thermacell pad and bottle refills?
Ok I've looked on youtube and refilling the butane seems simple and reliable enough. But my question is pads, according to what the vids on there say a mixture of 1part Permethrin to 5parts water, 5-10 drops on each pad is sufficient. There's also a recommendation of 1oz perm to 2-3oz of water and dropping the pads into the mixture then air dry and store in a ziploc bag.
Are these homemade/"recharged" mixtures and pads actually as effective as the new "fresh from the foil" pads from Thermacell? My swamp has skeeters that can mate Humminbirds so it's CRUCIAL that my Thermacell's work at 100% effectiveness!
