More then likely discussed before. Do all birds need to be removed when using coopex to spray for ants or other insects. Obviously the feed & water need to be taken out, will it harm the birds or quail??
Thanks in advance

I have never experienced any issues withe finches and parrots in the aviaries whist using coopex, as you mentioned remove or cover the feed and water before spraying. works so well!Sapperfinch wrote: ↑20 Dec 2021, 06:00 More then likely discussed before.

I only do the walls and round the edges of the roof and floors with it myself. But have wound up having a shower with it. Try not to get it directly on the birds, but light side spray does not seem to harm them. Quail are busy eating the Coopexed bush roaches as they stagger arround, so they can take it easy.

The ants round here come in from the surrounding bush so regularly that I have to Coopex the sods away 2 or 3 times a year. No residual problems either.

Just be careful, the 10 kg drums are different in chemical additives and not suitable for use in aviaries I believe. The sashes are the right ones to use.
