Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I agree it was probably overkill.
Though he applied it outside away from the house. Just cleaned the sprayer inside. At the time I was using that sink to clean enclosures and tools so I was concerned.
Thank you!
I spoke to him again and got some clarification. He did clean everything with bleach and I wiped down surfaces with bleach myself as well. Just in case. So far there have been no issues thankfully.
So, a household member is going camping at the end of the month and just mixed up and used a batch of permethrin on his tent. Its main use, as I understand it, is against ticks.
Which are arachnids...
Does anyone know just HOW paranoid I should be?
The user claims everything was cleaned with...
Hey. There’s a button in the menu the says "download the app," but when I click it, nothing happens. (I'm on iPhone so maybe that's the problem?)
The only previous post I could find relating to any forum app mentions Tapatalk, but this forum doesn't seem to be on it any more?
Is there an app...
