Does it say its safe for pets needs to be dog friendly. Cant see any info on the notes.

We've never had any problems with the white powder stuff and doggies. It isn't like the blue stuff for slugs which does do harm to mutts!
Wifey says "They'll sniff it then they might sneeze, but that's it." She's never seen one even lick it.

Horrible stuff, especially when you have to surform corners so a bead-trim can sit nicely. It makes a terribly dusty mess that gets ground into everything if you don't do a proper clean-up.
Window-cills/sills next week. and then the plasterers can come and filthy everything up.

Could not agree more!!!!

Stopped for a snack (sossij roll and ham bap). I even remembered to take me little solar panel with me to recharge me phone and portable battery bank thingy.

This is the view back down the valley once I'd finished the foods and hiked a bit higher.

Once I got to the top I could then see me Islands only mountain (Snaefell) and the highest hill on the far left (North Barrule)

It wasn't far at just 5.5 miles.

Looks lovely!
Very uplifting!

Here is the data sheet, it doesn't say it is dangerous particularly for dogs and as I said it has never caused any of our dogs a problem.

Well the weekend has flown by.
Been to the “adopted” niece 18th yesterday.
Did not touch a drop of beer & allowed the Mrs plenty of cider in the south coast sun.
Now bag packed for another week.
Received my COVID jab invite. Just need to arrange some time off.

so stay safe my family and let’s see where I go.

Don't know if you have ever been in a small, plane doing aerobatics.
I did it several times in a Chipmunk as a cadet and then in a Tiger Moth.
Fabulous fun. Didn't lose the grin for the rest of the day each time.
Sadly don't think I'll ever get the dosh together to get my PPL and a share in a Tiger moth.

Get someone to give you a flight in a Tiger Moth as a birthday present.
You'll never forget it.

Defender ant killer bottle says to keep animals away from treated area during and after application. Don't use on bedding and food prep surfaces.

Defender ant powder ses the same but warns against breathing in the powder anorl.

Have to say eye is disappointed eye can't find a data sheet on the stv defender web site.

Edgar ses get rid of the dog. They p*ss on trees. He take o'fence to it and ses it tastes orrible.

Fanks for having a looky.

Dog dont pizz on trees its a bitch, I put trees in me fire to keep my castle warm.

The old white powder stuff works pretty well. But you may need to put lines of it across your doorways and maybe even your windows or near airbricks, wherever they are getting in.
Once they get hold of it they take it back to their lair and there they proceed to kill all the others. We get lots of em in Frogland and it does work pretty well.

Ive used the power years ago I think the ants were snorting it & invited all there mates for a
mega party at my gaff.

Just watching "The Great British Spitfire" channel 4.
Far more interesting from an engineering point of view.
(For some bizarre reason reminds me of building a kit car.)
I do understand, as they are worth millions, but can't help feeling they are making a meal of it. To think how fast a bunch of wimmins used to throw them together during the war.
