Terri_1969 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi all. I have four ducks. They come onto my patio daily to have a rummage around and what not. This gets hosed daily but the runoff is starting to back up a bit. I want to disinfect it but can’t find one that not only smells nice, but is safe should my ducks ingest it. Any ideas would be fantastic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Viratec P is brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yes, I second that. It lasts a long time too so don’t be put off by the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It comes as a powder, so you can make it up into a spray bottle, or a bucket full. There's a spray version marketed as an egg sanitiser too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri_1969 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Thanks ever so much guys! I’ll go and have a look. Am so relieved there’s actually something I can use. Have searched like crazy on the tinterweb but all I could find involved white wine vinegar, but even then, it didn’t say that it they ingested it, that it would be ok...

The Dogmother Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Viratec P is a livestock disinfectant and fine for treating feeders and drinkers. Also can be used for foot mats during AI outbreaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri_1969 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Ok so I’ve got it on order and it’ll be here tomorrow. Jus to be sure: if my ducks swallow some of this, they’ll be ok? My patio has seen better days if I’m honest, and doesn’t drain as well any mores, and as they tend to drink any puddles I’m jus double checking it’s completely safe for them.....sorry....am a bit of a worry wart wen it comes to them!
