So why do the containers have pictures of dogs on and states suitable for pet/animal housing

Because one is supposed to hose it off after disinfecting concrete, killing moss etc, not leave it there for animals to traipse through.


It's common sense, I'd have thought, just the same as taking precautions to exclude animals for a period when using creosote on animal housing. (And before anyone tells me that's been banned, it is still available to us 'farmers!' )

Yes also works with cats . Kills them . Vomiting fits agonising death . Gets on the fur and they try to clean it off.
I would imagine it has the same effect on small children.

No fan of small children myself but I put up with their screaming jumping about buses pubs ect and in return when they grow up and I am ga ga they put up with me talking to
Myself and forgetting to wash for 6 months.
And so it goes on .

Feeding them to the cats or foxes might be a possibility? But only if you follow the instructions on the tin and carefully rinse them with copious amounts of water to avoid any residue causing harm to the cats.

I seem to recall the advice on the can being not to allow live creatures access to treated areas for as long as it took to dry out.

I used the stuff for over 20 years whilst keeping African/Australian parrots/parakeets in outdoor aviaries. It was used as a swill out after scraping the floors. Never had any issues in that time and I used it while the birds were still in there.

PS, it had no effect on deterring cats, they were still as big an issue as ever.

I think birds have a very different physiological response to some chemicals. The suggested treatment for leg mite in chickens used to be dipping their legs in paraffin. I'm sure there are safer modern alternatives now available (I've not kept chickens for a very long time), but I'm not aware of stories of chickens rapidly keeling over and dying from paraffin poisoning. (but please don't try this at home just in case )

I think that was the liquid paraffin as sold in chemists, rather than the sort for running an old fashioned heater....unless of course the objective was a quick barbecue!
