Leicester_H Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi We have a quarterly lawn treatment (feed etc). When they came last time they wanted to apply moss killer. I asked if they guaranteed that it was safe for hens. The young man didn't know, phoned boss / head office who told him no - so he didn't apply it. Today, someone from the company phoned to see what OH wanted doing, offering moss killer. He said it was completely safe for hens (after a few hours). Anyone know anything about this - anything with killer in the name sounds iffy to me! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Our lawn treatment man assured me his treatment stuff was safe for dogs and chickens from next day. But I didn't risk it and just let him treat front garden where the animals don't go. Like you I thought if it kills weeds,moss etc I don't want my pets eating it.

sarahjayne Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We have Green Thumb treat our lawn quarterly. They said 2 weeks for all treatments for grazing animals which they classed chickens as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Hens Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My backyard chicken picked a few of the moss killer I sprayed on teh lawn. Is that dangerouse for their health? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Have a look on the packaging to check for hazard symbols. But best to keep any animals away from any pesticides or herbicides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
