"One flea treatment of a medium-sized dog contains enough pesticide to kill 60 million bees."

High prevalence of veterinary drugs in #bird's nests
Fur-lined nests potentially expose birds like blue and great tit to harmful chemicals.
•
All 103 nests tested contained #fipronil and most also contained #imidacloprid and #permethrin.
•
The most common #insecticides in bird nests are used as veterinary drugs.
•
Higher insecticide levels were linked to increased offspring mortality.

Have anyone tried/researched #Nootkatone - an natural alternative to #Permethrin as tick killer (insecticide)?
I've discovered it by reading "The Ultimate Hang", and would like to hear your opinions, experiences with it?
Also, anyone knows good brand available in Europe to try it out myself?
Thanks!
❗🐈 Vorsicht beim #Zeckenschutz: Tierarzneimittel mit dem Wirkstoff #Permethrin können bei Katzen schwere Vergiftungserscheinungen hervorrufen und zum Tod führen. Katzen fehlt ein spezifisches Enzym, um den Wirkstoff im Körper abbauen zu können: 👉 https://sohub.io/c1dn
@Earth2Ben Before camping season I thoroughly soak my camp clothing and hammock in a 0.5% solution of Permethrin. Allow it to air dry, then wash it. It bonds to the fabric and is effective for several months and repeated washings. Any ticks don't stay long enough to embed. It's similar to the field protocol the US Army used before their uniforms came pre-embedded with Permethrin. For the past 20+ years I've typically spent 5 - 8 weeks each year back country camping.

Am #Weltkatzentag 🐈 warnt @BVL_Bund: Lebensgefährliche Verwechslung möglich! Zum Schutz vor Zecken & Co. greifen TierbesitzerInnen auch zu Tierarzneimitteln mit #Permethrin. Bei Katzen können die Mittel jedoch zu schweren Vergiftungen führen: https://sohub.io/1yjn
Myoga, Japanese ginger
Watering plants at the most important corner of my backyard, where I have Myoga 😉 They are growing well, hopefully providing us with nice condiments 😋
When I do yard work, I tend to have beer, which makes me a better target of mosquitoes 🤔
DEET didn’t work, my old permethrin-treated t-shirt didn’t work 🥲 I need to get new treated shirts for fishing (I got many bites during fishing)🤔

@andrewbriscoe Permethrin treated my hiking clothes thru the Insect Shield company in North Carolina (sadly, probably at higher cost than doing it myself!!). And didn't find a single tick on my body during months of hiking. A year later the treatment seems to be keeping off the ticks off of me while I'm out in the meadow or cutting grass. Good stuff.
@larsmb I’ve found #ExOfficio’s #BugsAway line of clothing to be very effective at keeping bugs at bay. My bugsaway shirt greatly reduces #mosquitoes around my head. Not sure if #permethrin embedded in clothing fabric is safer than #DEET on the skin, but it certainly feels a lot less gross.
hikers, mushroom hunters: if you have #permethrin-baked clothes, which can be washed ~70 times, do you keep a log of the washing? Or does that qualify as OCD?
