    Bed Bugs - permethrin

    I also received similar information from my local exterminator that basically only thought the chemicals killed the bugs on contact and had very little residual effect from a surface being sprayed. I don't care about killing them, i just dont want them walking onto my bed and down into my...

    Sending boxes of supplies

    Laurie, Wow, that is a great idea! I was trying to shoot for a town I hoped to arrive on Wed (therefore 2 days early or late I was still OK)... but this is a better idea. Are hostels pretty good about moving a reservation forward or backward if needed? In other words, are there penalties or...

    Sending boxes of supplies

    I was going to prepare the boxes, taped up, labeled and ready to go when i arrive in madrid. A previous posted suggested that i purchase the boxes at the post office... Is this the preferred practice in Spain? My boxes would be just brown cardboard with no advertisements on the outside, just...

    Bed Bugs - permethrin

    I had posted the above post a few days ago and wondered if anyone had advice about the various chemicals available for purchase. If you have any knowledge or found/heard one works better on bedbugs than the other, please please let me know! Thanks!

    Not that I'm concerned but how many got bit by BED BUGS on the Camino

    This is all such great info! T2Andr, you rock for finding out the locations to purchase whats sounds like a miracle spray! I plan to mix up one spray of the lavender, tea tree oil and then purchase the other in SJPdP... There are four of us traveling together, so the two will come in handy if...

    Not that I'm concerned but how many got bit by BED BUGS on the Camino

    I have read it a few times now that most seem to pack their pack in something to check it at the airport. I will be doing this on the return home but thought i could just check the pack as is... Now i thinking i have to buy something to go on the outside? Where are people getting these items...

    Not that I'm concerned but how many got bit by BED BUGS on the Camino

    Thanks Anne... I will look for a garbage bag to take and i read somewhere a bungie cord works for hanging your pack off the bunk bed corner. I have a small pack 28L so things will be pretty tight and i am sure i will need to unload it to get to this or that. I do like the ziplock idea and plan...

    Not that I'm concerned but how many got bit by BED BUGS on the Camino

    I have been doing alot of reading about these bedbugs and have a question... The Clako can be purchased in SJPdP? I went to the website and since it was in french i figured that is where I might be able to purchase it. Those of you using lavender and tea tree oil, you make this up ahead and...

    So i have been doing some searching for treatment of fitted sheet and pack and have a few questions for those that have already successfully protected themselves via treatments from the bed bugs. I am looking at various products available in the USA. Here are the main categories of the ones i...

    Sending boxes of supplies

    Thanks all for the post office tips and the food tips. USA is probably the hardest country to be vegetarian and organic so imagine Spain will be wonderful by comparison! Of course you hit the nail on the head about the cross contamination and "extra" ingredients...i will have several epi pens...

    Sending boxes of supplies

    I wondered if anyone had taken advantage of sending supplies to post offices along the camino. One of the pilgrims on this forum supplied a nice list of post office addresses and instructions. My idea is that i must check my hiking poles and therefore have a checked bag... I plan to take an...
