Below is the e-mail that I just received from an
historic ranch near Carson City, Nevada, where I did
some contract work last year.  I'll check AIC, but is
there anyone who has had experience with either of
these products?  I'm not so concerned about what they
use on the grounds, but I too am a little concerned
about the furniture.  Most of it is over
100-years-old.  The sofa and chairs were
re-upholstered in the 1960s.  I've treated for
powderpost beetles but fleas is a new one to me.
