Use of Carbolic Acid

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I would like to know if govt. of India or any state govt has banned the use of carbolic acid. Refer the discussion we had on snake prevention where use of carbolic acid was suggested as an effective way to curb the menace.

However one of my colleague has informed me that use of carbolic acid is banned.

Pls. confirm if you are aware of any such legislation.

Dear Members,

I have received lot of mails on use and

availability of FORATE.

I would like to share with you that FORATE

is available at any agriculture shop. It is poisonous with some unique smell. While

using one has to wear hand gloves and nose mask. One has to just sprinkle the

FORATE at the areas where we suspect the snakes or where our people have to

work. It should not be used in side the sheds or offices. The use of FORATE is

strictly recommended in Open Storage Yards (L P G, Raw material, Scrap, etc). Don’t

keep used bottle in closed cabin it is advisable that the bottle should be used

at time and disposed in a safe manner. Make sure that the bottle is not being

reused.

I do not have the MSDS of FORATE if any one

is having the same kindly forward it to me.

In addition to this I would like to share

that MIRA 71 is a good for controlling wild grass growth which is sprayed over

wild grass with the help of agriculture spray. It has to mix with water before

spraying.

Before using any of the above please read

the instructions carefully and follow the same.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Mr. Prashant,

Carbolic acid is the good solution for

snake prevention but due to certain health hazards this falls under license

drug category and hence not easily available in market.

Now days more effective drug for snake prevention

is available in market and same is used widely by farmers that is FORATE.

We have tried it and found suitable.

Thanks and regards,
