Do not store diluted insecticide.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Can I spray Coopex directly onto chickens?

A. Coopex is not registered for this kind of use so it's not something we can legally recommend. However, I do know people who use Coopex like this and they have been happy with the results.

Q. Can Coopex be used on plants in the garden?

A. Coopex is not registered for garden use, so I can't recommend it for this kind of use. Coopex includes Permethrin as its main ingredient which is available in some garden sprays but the garden variety is very expensive. However, Pyrethrin is quite similar to Permethrin and is more affordable. Here is a link to a product that includes Pyrethrin, Click here.
