We live near Lake Hodges, just south of Escondido, right in the middle of your friends' area.
I hope you will tell them about this thread, and to tell their neighbors, too.
I've never seen an ad or commercial for Barricade or any of the other retardants.
Right now, it appears to be mostly word of mouth, so I'm telling anyone, any where, any time.
It's cheap insurance, but necessary, and I'm determined to do all I can to protect our home,
and get the word out.
