Re: None of the meds/herbs are killing the critters!

Hi,
Thank you for providing these articles.

Were you able to purchase the piperonyl butoxide and if so where. I saw some chinese sites that sell it in by the tonnage. Were you able to find it isolated a way from a pesticide??

I read this about the kojic acid, tyrosinase inhibitor

Inhibitors of helminth tyrosinases may include kojic acid , vitamin C, cysteine, arbutin, glutathione, hydroquinone, hydroquinone ethers, retinoids, 4-n-butylresorcinol, 4-isoamyl resorcinol, ascorbic acid, 2, 5-hydroxyphenylcarboxylic acid derivatives, chalcones, chamaecin, colloidal sulphur benzoic acid s, hydroxyphenyl oxamates, phenolic amides, oxydesberatrols, flavonoids, copper chelators such as diethyldithiocarbamic acid (DETC) , and modifications, analogues and derivatives of these compounds.

In preferred embodiments, the tyrosinase inhibitor is a kojic acid compound. Kojic acid compounds include kojic acid and analogues, derivatives and modified forms of kojic acid.

Were you able to find a preferred form for the kojic acid. Possibly a lotion with a high concentration? This should work very well to kill the eggs. Which is a good thing.

Back to the pbo.. I guess you bought it from a vet med supply??
Thanks again.
