Fipronil isn't approved for use in any livestock species; It's meant to be used on dogs and cats ONLY, who are hopefully not eaten here. Chickens are actually livestock, and any bird could end up sold and eaten, or if a hen, her eggs could be eaten too. It's a great product, but there are other safer products out there that are also used in humans and livestock, with longer track records. Mary
Would you mind terribly going down the list of other products, other than DE?
For me, after working about 30 years with not one flea ever ever ever on my dogs, Frontline no longer work here in SC. I dont mean it not as effective, or doesnt last a month; I mean the stuff does not work at ALL on my canines. I had to switch to another product.
Personally, I have such issues with creepy bugs that make me or my animals itch, I would NEVER eat another egg if it meant no fleas/mites/lice. Now chicken..........not so much.
