  • Jeyes fluid is a phenol, which is toxic to cats.  I'm a Vet nurse, and have seen cats poisoned this way - not nice.  I'm not a cat fan, but would just say please be careful how you use and store it. xxxx

  • Can I spray diluted Jeyes Fluid on my chilli and herb plants which have mealy bug? I'm a complete novice at this!

     

    thanks

    Absolutely no way would I spray it on something I was going to eat - have a look at this

    Scroll down through the pages and read what Jeyes themselves say about their product.  

    I never use the stuff.

  • I have a bad infestation of carrot fly larvae in my garden, what is the best way to treat the soil so that I can plant something in it next season, I realise it's a good idea to avoid the carrot family.

  • There are folk that claim the benefits of Jeyes Fluid. Judging by their experiences it can be beneficial to plants and I accept not to pets or fish. However , all the people that do not recommend the use of this fluid, are they speaking from experience or hearsay?
