Commonly used pesticides for poultry: Are we slowly killing our birds and not even knowing it?
By: Patrick Haley
Today, many poultry chemicals are considered by many as the Rolls Royce’s of parasite control and sell swiftly at retail stores. Many of the makers and reputable researchers make claims that many are safe – safer than ever – and that they only target the parasite. In reality “Do they really sound too good to be true?” Dr. Jerry Blondell, of the US EPA, has stated clearly “not to use pesticides on the old, the sick or the young.” Many poultry guardians overlook or disregard these written precautions.
Listed below are many of the consumer favorites in parasite control.
Carbaryl – Sevin
Carcinogen. A carbamate insecticide C12H11NO2 is effective especially against numerous pests, lice, ticks, and beetles. Product is poisonous if absorbed by skin contact or swallowed. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale. Keep away from water. Classified as a likely human carcinogen by the EPA. Acutely toxic to honeybees. Carbaryl is illegal to sell in United Kingdom, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Angola due to the health risks associated with it.
Permethrin – Garden & Poultry Dust, Lice Killer Dust
Carcinogen. A synthetic pyrethroid pesticide C21H20CI2O3 used especially against insects, ticks and mites. For humans, harmful if absorbed through the skin. Irritating to skin and eyes, damaging to lungs. Harmful if swallowed. Classified by the EPA as a likely human carcinogen. Toxic to cats.
Malathion – Carbofos, Maldison, Mercaptothion
Carcinogen. A thiophosphate insecticide C10H19O6PS2 used mostly for mosquito control has been suggested for mite control. Has a lower mammalian toxicity than parathion. Malathion is poisonous if swallowed. Side effects; shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, rash, redness or irritation of the eyes. Never use in or near drinking water. Flammable. EPA classifies malathion as having suggestive evidence of carcinogenicity. Malathion breaks down into Malaoxon, which is 61 times more toxic than malathion. If used indoors as it breaks down into malaoxon it can seriously poison the occupants living in the environment.
Fipronil – Frontline
Carcinogen. A broad spectrum insecticide C12H4CL2F6N4OS used as a flea killer on dogs. Never to be used on pigeons, poultry or other farm animals. Product disrupts the insect central nervous system. Fipronil is a slow acting poison. Mostly used on dogs as a spot-on flea-killer. Poisonous if product comes in contact with cats even with close physical contact with dogs treated with fipronil. Toxic to bees. An active carcinogen and a suspect to human carcinogen.
Note: Carcinogen: Identified as a substance that can cause cancer.
Each of these chemicals have inherently different risks. Each has been classified by the EPA as a carcinogen, meaning they have been identified as causing tumors. Their instructions for environmental hazards each in essence state: When applying wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), washable hat and PVC rubber gloves. Wear protective eye wear and face mask. After use wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each application, machine wash all clothing and wash gloves. Think about this, you are protecting you the user now think what you are doing to the bird
Billions of dollars are spent annually on products that kill parasites. Are we poisoning our poultry with the vain attempt to wipe parasites out of existence? We attempt to rid our poultry of parasites by utilizing chemicals that are toxic to the brain, nervous system and may disrupt the hormone system and cause cancer. Does this really make sense to you?
There are Natural products that carry no inherent risks to you or your birds, and are just as effective as chemical treatments.
Non-chemical alternatives
Diatomaceous Earth – DE, TSS, Diatonite, Diahydro
Consists of fossilized remains of hard-shelled algae. A soft, chalklike sedimentary rock that crumbles into a fine white to off-white powder. Typical chemical makeup is 86% silica, 5% sodium, 3% magnesium and 2% iron. Most commonly used in dust baths as a mechanical insecticide mildly abrasive. Diatomaceous Earth – Safe Natural Product
Pyrethrum – Zacherlin
Pyrethrum refers to old world plants, made from dried flower heads like the common daisy. Flowers are pulverized and the active components are called pyrethrins. They attack the nervous system of all insects and stop mosquitoes from biting, similar to a bug repellent. Used for centuries as an insecticide and as a lice remedy. Sold as a liquid or powder for lice remedy. Read ingredients label carefully, many manufactures mix pyrethrin with permethrin which increases it toxicity. Warnings on permethrin are spelled out above. Pyrethrum – Safe Natural Product
Enzymes Bacteria Free – Poultry Protector
All natural food based enzymes, Bacteria Free. Enzymes are small biochemical digesters that have the power to break apart proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc and makes them absorbable. When applied to a parasite tiny enzymes fractures and break apart the outside epidermis allowing natural indigenous bacteria to enter the parasites body and there by killing it. Effective at cleaning away arthropod parasites, viruses and organic contaminants naturally. Can be sprayed directly to the bird, bedding and surrounding grounds. Read ingredients label carefully, many manufacturers are selling bacteria claiming the products are enzymes. Bacteria Free Enzymes – Safe Natural Product.
A PARASITE FREE BIRD IS A HEALTHIER, MORE PRODUCTIVE BIRD. They will love you for it.
Leading mail order companies and many retail outlets sell natural products. They understand the importance of offering natural products that protect your birds and our environment. Due to the current economic times stores are reluctant to offer new products, especially all natural ones. Many store owners are also not aware of alternatives to chemicals. You the consumer have to ask them for them. Please if you truly want the very best for your birds and you want to protect them naturally insist – and be persistent – that your local farm store or feed store carry natural products.
