I get Pyrethum powder from garden centers its an insecticide powder. My local vet sells a spray can of insecticide to spray carpets etc to make sure your pets dont deposit flees in the house. i just wondered if the spray can would be ok on feathers,,,,iain
What is this stuff you are talking about? I use a lot of wild game
feathers & furs in my tying. So a bug problem is always a concern.

What brand is it Iain? Maybe they sell it here. I still can't find it
in powder only liquid.

i was at the vets today and saw the cans of insecticide thought this
stuff might be good for ensuring i dont get any problems. I use
purethum powder now.

Iain,
I am a veterinarian but have never had to doctor any feathers! I
would assume the pyrethrins / permethrins would be OK. Do you have an
infestation? I so, you could spray them with the above sprays then wash
them thoroughly. The pyrethroids have a quick kill so do not need a
long contact time. They will not, however, kill any eggs that may be
present. You would maybe want to isolate these materials then retreat
them in a couple of weeks. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have
further questions or if I have just confused things.
