Craig, some of my local pet stores carry it. Failing that bunnings also sells it.

Cheers Ian

Craig,
Try your local produce stores, they should have it in the sachets but it will be at least double the price than you will pay at birds sales, same as Virkon.

Thanks for that Derek :thumbup: I do have an account at Allfarm but didn't know prolong was one of their products.Reading the safety and contents information it's pretty much the same as coopex.
Cheers and thanks again Craig

As you can see it comes in a bigger packet. You just have to weigh the first amount for the size sprayer you use.I reuse the same little container and have a mark on the side to fill to after the initial first weigh.

The name may have even changed from Coopex to Prolong
