Don't do this.

Van-Vermex.Picked this up off another site and thought I would warn other fanciers who might not have seen the post.

Van- Vermex is for perches etc only NOT for putting on birds.

 

"had a disaster to day i was putting a couple of drop of van vermin-ex on the birds and then basketed them while cleaning out went back to find them all dead must have been overcome by the fumes of it, lost 23 top stock birds , well p****d off to say the least just thought i'd make veryone aware how dangerous this stuff is, no wonder they have took it off the market"

 

BE WARNED

i would only use chlorcarb on the birds...used it many times and so as many others i know...brilliant stuff and keeps the birds clean for months...and only £5.95 a sachet.

 

seen the article on p/chat...the guy must be devasted.

strapper i got the tip off the site to use clorcarb and im very happy and yes the birds are still clear of lice and mites.van vermenex is very strong and only to be used in loft not on birds,i also take the water out just in case it polutes it.wear gloves if you are using both products.

The blokes a prat, clearly tells you on the label not to use on the birds and it even tells you to remove the birds from the loft!

 

I've heard that Chlorcarb strips all the oil off the feathers and the next time they get wet they just get water logged like a sponge, is this your experience with it?

Anything but the truth, have used it for years and my pigeons feather always remains top quality.

birds stayed wet for a while after using clorcarb,i wouldnt use it if i was going to train or race in the next week as i agree the oils may be washed off the bird,as for the other comment about the chap he made a mistake using the other product on his birds.so its very very important to read the instructions carefully and to wear gloves to protect yourself also.

hi phil m8...ive not experienced or maybe just not noticed the birds getting the way you describe.

i dip them once a year b4 racing so hopefully if this does happen, then it shouldnt make a difference when racing.

could that be the reason for my results ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've got some but not used it yet but a friend had told me that it took his a long time to regain the condition and protection from the wet.

Theres your answer, dipped just b4 a show and won. Surely chloracarb isnt detramental to the oils in a pigeons feathering ? Ive handled the bird Clockman is talking about at the show he is talking about, and it was a real cracker.
