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
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.
having had a serious attack of white rot on my onions this season i used jeyes fluid as a soil sterilizer 15mm per gall three months later the weeds were growing well!!! then planted mustard seed as a green manure grew to 2 foot digging in this week end tho the recommendation was not to grow onions in same patch
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?

Scroll down through the pages and read what Jeyes themselves say about their product.
I never use the stuff.
