Make your own joes juice for pennies
1 tsp kalk or pickling lime 2 tbsp ro/di mix and bring to boil in microwave. Walla-joes juice.

pretty sure you gotta get more serious with the joes juice. once its out of control, peppermints wont help. you have to take it back to ground 1 and the peppermints will keep it at bay.

This works well for spot treatments, but if they've infested, removing and toasting the rock may be the drastic, but needed solution.

I agree. a blow torch is the tool of choice i recommend. That way you arent killing the entire rock....just the surface where the aips live and you will be 100 percent successful if you torch them to dust.
 I was just offeering a better solution thatn buying 20 things of Joes. Joes juice or kalk paste isnt 100% successful as babies will come up sometimes afterwards....you have to keep nailing them......
