Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / June 2007Carbaryl Powder
Does anyone know where I can get Carbaryl powder? It's also listed as Ortho Sevin Carbaryl powder. It's what the vet told me to use for the lice, but I can't find it anywhere near me. --Michaela Where do you live? > Where do you live? I live in Newport, Rhode Island Lynn beat me to it... Wanted to see if you were in the states. Sevin at a gardening or hardware store... or in a flea powder for animals that groom themselves. Sevin works for rabbits, too. I did a little "googling" and found that it is in Dusting Powder for pet birds etc... Carbaryl powder (found in Zodiac Flea & Tick Powder for cats and dogs ages 12 weeks and older) perhaps if you looked for that product??? Good luck, Lynn PS, your new boys are the BEST, loved the pics! Does anyone know where I can get Carbaryl powder? It's also listed as Ortho Sevin Carbaryl powder.

Apparently, it is also used to treat garden pests. The bag says that is for use on cats and dogs- but I'm wary of putting gardening powder on my babies :( I looked for the Zodiac powder at all our local pet shops, but to no avail. I am going to call the vet to make sure that the garden powder is the same thing she was talking about. I guess active ingredients are active ingredients- even if they are packaged differently. --Michaela On Jun 20, 9:22 pm, "Lynn \"kitty\"" <kittybluebu...@dontbother.net> wrote: > I did a little "googling" and found that it is in Dusting Powder for pet > birds etc...

Zodiac Fleatrol Flea & Tick powder for dogs and cats!! Thanks! I feel much better (for some reason) putting that on the babies than some gardening pesticide dust. Sorry I was not home earlier to help you find it. I am SO glad that you found it though. Fantastic. Had my own bout of lice here earlier in the year. Believe it or not, your trouble helped me out for what to do IF it ever happens again.

Thanks everyone for all your help. It's nice to be here! Granted there are many more people now civil to rats than there were 20 years ago, but true rattie friends are still far and few between. It's great being able to say, "Look how adorable our new babies are!" without "Eck!" as the typical response. Or even the lady that acts like you have a man-eating tiger on your shoulder (rather than a 1/2 lb rat) and runs across the street screaming. My cousin, who *acts* so threatened and disgusted when I have a rat with me, I believe, does it just to be different than the rest of my family- or because she thinks it makes her look cute or something. As an intelligent woman, she can't be so ignorant as to think they honestly pose a threat to her- and she doesn't react so strongly as to imply a true phobia. I think she felt a little stupid though when my 5yr.old walked in, took Jack out of his pouch and kissed him square on the nose- Jack just twitched his whiskers, put his hands on Phee's lips, and sniffed his nose. We brought the babies to my OS classroom (5th grade) last week for *show and tell* and even the two little girls who said, "EWW- I'm not touching no rat! They're gross!", were saying how cute they were at the end of the 15 mins. Another girl, who seemed genuinely interested and affectionate to the babies, had her mother call me after school to find out where we got Rocky and Jack because they wanted to get one. (She reassured me that they would bring 2 home by the end of the conversation.) I noticed that the teacher, although she seemed eager for us to visit, walked well out of range while my son and I walked the babies around to different students. Anyway, it's nice to be here amongst like minded people. I'm glad I found you. --Michaela On Jun 21, 9:46 pm, "Lynn \"kitty\"" <kittybluebu...@dontbother.net> wrote: > Sorry I was not home earlier to help you find it.

I just found out that Zodiac flea powder with carbaryl has been discontinued- that's why I was unable to find it in the stores. When I clicked on the links I found when I googled it, all the online stores said *out of stock*- so if you or anyone happens upon an online place that has it, please let me know. Soon I'll be forced to use the gardening stuff. :( Thanks --Michaela I found it at ihome.com http://www.ihome.com/product/cat-grooming/87132/zodiac-flea-tick-powder-for-dogs -and-cats-5-oz..html and petsmart.com http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8455244418 13434&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302033681&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=253437430202 3690&bmUID=1182580664744&itemNo=7&N=2033681&Ne=39 and petacular.com http://www.petacular.com/products/Flea-Powder.html Hope they can help. IT would be great if you have a PETSMART store nearby. Then perhaps you could go in person for help.

TBH I'd never use a powder on my lads, I'd be scared to death of them injesting it when they groom.
