Elimitik appears to be very interesting stuff. It is a type of neurotoxin that affects insects but not most mammals (rapidly ?), according to Wikipedia and FDA references I have read. Permethrin is the more common name for Elimitik. I don't know of anyone with experiance in using the stuff but it appears the military has used it on clothing in some areas.
From Wikipedia - "Permethrin is used in tropical areas to prevent mosquito-borne disease such as dengue fever and malaria. Mosquito nets used to cover beds may be treated with a solution of permethrin. This increases the effectiveness of the bed net by killing parasitic insects before they are able to find gaps or holes in the net. Military personnel training in malaria-endemic areas may be instructed to treat their uniforms with permethrin, as well. An application should last several washes."
Mabye some of our members have used it. Thanks for the info I'll have to research it more.
