Insecticide in exterior paint
I was told once that instead of buying the expensive little bottles of insectcide additive one can add an "Ortho" type insecticide to the paint and it will work just as well.
Has anyone ever done this and what was the result?
Thanks

The insecticide helps control the spiders. EPA keeps removing the good products that work. It comes in little bottles that are added to one gallon and they used to cost about $4-5. A new product I priced to day cost $15 and is added to one gallon of paint. Used to pay that for the paint!!!
