Is sieven dust safe for chickens?

[Joultry]

Since my last post the flea problem has declined drastically! Thank the lord! But thank you mommy of two for the helpful advice

 

[mommy of two]

Your welcome. Sieven dust may not be the best for them but neither is a bug infestation that you can't get rid of so to each their own! Glad it helped though! After we used sieven dust just once the grain mites we had died and we haven't had to use it since now we just use DE as a preventative.

Sevin-5 * Ready-To-Use 5% Dust *
Active ingredient: Carbaryl [ 63-25-2 ] 5%
Inactive Ingredient: Quartz 47-57%, Mica 16-24%, Kaolin Clay 1-5%, Pyrophyllite less than 35%

CHRONIC TOXICITY:
[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]Carbaryl [/FONT][/FONT]
has been shown to cause tumors in laboratory animals in lifetime feeding studies. Carbaryl, when administered by various routes, at
doses toxic to the maternal animals, has been shown to produce developmental toxicity in a number of species. Carbaryl produces no
teratogenic effects in the absence of maternal toxicity.
[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]Pyrophyllite[/FONT][/FONT]
: Sparse literature specifically addressing pyrophyllite dust exposures are complicated by concurrent silica exposures. Absent free
silica, a low category pneumoconiosis (with little respiratory disability) is probable in prolonged, high dust concentrations.
[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]Kaolin: [/FONT][/FONT]
Published literature suggests that extremely high exposures to kaolin dust over a prolonged period of time can lead to a low category
pneumoconiosis (with little respiratory disability) in a small number of workers.
[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold][FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]Crystalline Silica: [/FONT][/FONT]
Overexposure to respirable crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, a form of progressive pulmonary fibrosis. “Inhalable”
crystalline silica (quartz) is listed as a Group 1 carcinogen (lung) based on “sufficient evidence” in occupationally exposed humans and
sufficient evidence in animals. Crystalline silica is also listed by the NTP as a substance reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen. Some
studies have not demonstrated a cancer association and considerable controversy exists concerning the IARC and NTP classification.

SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This product is extremely toxic to aquatic and estuarine invertebrates. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where
surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark, except under the forest canopy and use on rice. Discharge from
rice fields may kill aquatic and estuarine invertebrates. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. This
product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to​

drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.


In short: Its safe for chickens so long as you don't feed it to them for the next 5 years.

I've been having bad fly problems and after trying DE and fly strips I broke down and got a bottle of Sevin Dust 5% and used it in my run. I can't not believe the huge difference!! I've seen many anti-Sevin Dust posts on this board but I'm sticking with my own opinion. And IMO in today's world people just freak out a little too much about things
