Cotswold 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Any suggestions for cleaning/disinfecting an area of ground that has been subjected to s serious amount of the above? Have taken on some land that I want to extend my garden into so it needs to be human/pet/plant friendly. Would Jeyes do it? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claybusers al 9 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 jeyes is the best to use when i lived with my parents 20 years back i used it in the kennels and to this day there is a very clean rectangle at the bottom of the garden no moss or anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whippeter69 88 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Funny enough, did my monthly job of disinfecting the kennel and allways use jayes, Nothing better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mk3 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 stay away from jeyes never put animals near it when still wet, i nearly lost a ferret years back this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cotswold 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 That rings a bell - isn't it anything that make water go cloudy/milky that can kill ferrets. Can't think of the technical word, but seem to remember reading it in a James McKay book years ago. Does anyone know if Jeyes would stop plants growing afterwards? Many thanks.

Geoff.C 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Don't know if Jeyes is still the same, but it used to contain phenol which can be absorbed through skin or paws. Highly toxic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cotswold 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ah yeppers, phenol, think that was it. Thanks, Geoff! Has anyone got any other suggestions, preferably anything that is human/animal and plant friendly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Very weak solution of jayes, maybe a table spoon to a bucket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Jeyes still has warning on side that it aint good for animals. Only know cos some how ended up with a bottle of it in garage was going to use it myself-til I read back. Not that much that is animal friendly but must be something that some one on here uses.
