[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 540472, member: 7509"] I resoak it with the diesel/permethrin mixure out of a plastic gas can about once a month. If there is a lot of rain maybe every three weeks or so. The first time it took about 2 gallons on the 15 ft version (I coupled a 10 ft and 5 ft together in a 16 ft gate opening across the waterer pad entrance) to get it saturated initially. After that about one gallon each time seems to be about right. By pouring it on the cloth rub you are not getting permethrin airborne in a spray. I tried the spray on approach and did not like that at all - too much insecticide floating around. I bought mine at the local feed/hardware store. I would definitely use the optional tie-on dangly things pictured above about every 6" to get the eye flies that cause or spread pink eye. [/QUOTE]
