Just wondering if I can buy a spray can of permethrin in St. Jean. Does anyone know if it's available at the local outfitters? Thanks.

You can buy Clako. Comes in a nice small pilgrim size bottle. The bites sell it, possibly the tourist office and hiking shop too.

Virtually all Tourist Offices in France carry permethrin. The French are serious about bed bug control!!

Sorry - I meant the gites carry it, not the bites! How Freudian is that slip.

I have bought some permethrin soak here in Aus and plan to spray my pack and soak my sleep gear before I leave. I would like to buy a spray when I get to Spain for 'just in case'. Will I be able to find one in Pamplona do you think? Thanks for any info.
