irish lime

[f mac 40]

theres a few topics around just now regards fleas and hutch maintenance at the mo heres my take , most incectesides will kill adults and babies but not eggs/larve . bleach will but drys/evaporates quickly and would require at least a monthly application ... a few cupfuls of irish lime should be used and brushed into gaps, cavitys then the excess brushed out ,the lime will kill all eggs/larve fleas, ticks,red mite ,ants slaters anything that crawls and jumps .only requires application twice a year late spring / late summer . the lime can be mixed with emulsion /cuprinol ect and painted in to seal any gaps ... lime is safe as long as excess is removed as it can burn eyes ,,, great for kennels,hutches ,bird lofts ect ,,, remember to buy irish lime not garden lime its a diff beast ,, a bag will last years if kept dry , been using it for years no problems atb
