Taz I think it was 2020 was selling the imported stuff, it contained bromiadolone(sp) which is the active ingredient banned in the uk but apparently you can still get greenhouse pesticides which contain it. That exzolt is meant to be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do believe, I might be getting it mixed up then unless it was in both? They definitely took the good bit out if duramitex though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then Benzyl benzoate should do the same job, it causes paralysis in lice and mice the same as Duramitex did, You use to be able to buy 500mm bottles over the counter at most Chemists. If this proves to different then check out cures for sweet itch in horses at the local country store. They will probably contain Benzyl Benzoate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
