Ybs Survey Update Test Lofts

[Kyleakin Lofts]

None that I know of.

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Virkon and Virkon S are used aginst disease during outbreaks of foot and mouth, etc. That is what is put in the foot-baths to prevent the spread via feet. I imagine they also spray the overalls or perhaps they burn them if paper ones are used.

[paddymac]

Any properties that it shares with permetherin?

None at all or what I'm aware of

Sorry mate but as you said it's a lot of crap

[paddymac]

For arguments sake let's assume Ybs is caused or carried by insects,would virkon s have the same effect as permetherin or any other insecticide?

I don't believe so, virkon S is a disenfectant which keeps treated areas clean, its not used as an insect repellent.

[novo10]

Derek, I've not seen many flies about as yet, so I very much doubt the permithrin has had time to have an effect. Perhaps the YBS stays dormant in the loft. It may be you require a year to let the test "bed in", just a guess.

A canny believe your saying that andy my lofts have been burned scraped out then soaked with this crap product that cost us £30 it's a complete waste of money we will stick to how we did it before bleach the loft everyday and if needed will use nifuramycin end off

No Kevin I did not mean you

I would think if you burn the loft and bleach it, you should keep it clear of any nasties.

 

Let's face it, nobody knows what causes YBS and the scientists are not going to be funded to research it, so amateur methods are all we have. From what I've heard about YBS, trying anything is better than getting it.

[Darnaway]

No YBS and present and I have sprayed the loft twice now and I haven't noticed any flies but can't say the same for my other loft that has not been sprayed

 

It's early days and think we need to review the results at the end of the season

[blue bar]

1 packet coopex pyrethim $11.00 makes up 5ltr lasts 4months keeps my loft free of flys I will keep using it

Of course! One must always stick to what works for them.

For you, Blue Bar, $11 is well worth it for peace of mind alone ... and the bonus of a betterment of your' loft.
