Sheep dip

[glasshouse]

What was that dip we used to use for scab that got banned years ago because it supposedly got in the water?

Hi-Cis cypermethrin iirc.

It was the answer to dipping without the poisoning problems associated with OP, until...

Still available in Ireland as 'Cyper Guard' by the looks of it.

My wife's aunt is an accountant and a farming customer had a vat inspection,done by a farmers son. He'd noticed that the old boy was buying a box of sheep dip all year round and claiming it as a business expense.

Might be dieldrin if the poster was talking about earlier times. The finest dip I have ever used. I'm not old enough to remember the arsenic based ones, although the oldies in the 50s were familiar with them.

Stupid to ban it

Iirc it caused problems in water courses, even from the tiny amount that dripped off sheep after dipping.

It ain’t coming back.
