Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Howdy all, I like Murphy's mix (1/3 Murphy's oil soap, 1/3 alcohol, 1/3 peroxide) for cleaning my BP guns, tried all the others and Murphy's the one I prefer. Anyhow, I discovered this last summer while working in my research and develoment lab (garage). I live on a salt marsh creek here on the Carolina coast, and we have our fair share of skeeters and biting flies. I usually keep a spray bottle of bug spray on the work bench for when they pay a visit. Last night I was cleaning my BP guns and there was no wind, that's usually when they find me. Heather had taken my bug spray earlier to kill a spyder , so I grabbed my trusty bottle of Murphy's and gave em a quick spray. They went into a death spiral like before...........Murphy''s Mix, the new nontoxic bug spray Jefro Relax-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 The soap reduces surface tension so water normally excluded from breathing pores penetrates and drowns them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 ...I guess the peroxide kills any bacteria so they die cleanly?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I don't think I'd make a long term practice of this. You might mix things up and use Deep Woods Off on yore guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
