GAT Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 once poultry shield is mixed with water can i be kept in the spay bottle or does it "go off" i have a 5 ltr spray bottle so if i made this up would it keep ok left in the spray bottle untill i need to use it again?

chick wiggle Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 5 litres is huge and im sorry im not sure how long it last 'made up', but that would last ages wouldnt it? I keep mine in a little plant sprayer/mister, and its very easy to handle. not too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I hadn't considered that it might go off, but I do keep a bottle ready made up and it is still effective (I can visibly see the mites die on contact), so it certainly seems OK.

GAT Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 i wont make the 5 ltrs up perhaps just 1 or 2 then it wont be kept too long just didnt know if you should throw away any that you dont use. ps do you use a mask etc when using this?

Redwing Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I mix up 5litres at a time In saying that I use it an awful lot I just give it a good shake before I use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi, I keep 2 litres made up, its such a pain to have to make it up fresh everytime you need it. I give it a good shake and then begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've only ever bought it made up I think?? either that or I have been using super-industrial-nuclear strength stuff... now wondering if I should have read the label more closely...
