Gordon's Total Farm Dust

A: Howdy neighbor! You must never use this product on cats because its active ingredient, permethrin, is highly toxic and can be fatal to them. Cats lack the liver enzymes needed to process this chemical safely, meaning exposure can cause severe neurological damage or seizures.

A: Howdy neighbor! While Gordon's Total Farm Dust is completely safe to apply directly onto your goats for pest control, you should never sprinkle it on pasture grass where they feed. Ingesting the chemical powder while grazing can make your livestock sick, so it is best to keep the dust limited to their bedding or hide and off their forage.

A: Howdy neighbor! Gordon's Total Farm Dust can be safely used in horse pastures to treat individual ant mounds, but it must be applied strictly according to the label's safety instructions.

A: Howdy neighbor! Yes, Gordon's Total Farm Dust will help control chiggers because its active ingredient is permethrin, a highly effective insecticide and acaricide that kills mites, ticks, and microscopic pests on contact. While the Gordon's Total Farm Dust label specifically highlights common livestock pests like fleas, lice, and ticks, permethrin is universally toxic to chigger larvae. For the best results, shake the dust directly into outdoor chigger hotspots like tall brush, damp shade, or animal bedding areas, but never use this product on cats, as permethrin is highly toxic to them.

A: Thank you for your question. Gordon's Total Farm Dust is not labeled for use on rabbits.

A: While this product is labeled for use on poultry, it is critical to ensure animals do not inhale the dust during application. This is especially important for animals with sensitive respiratory systems.

A: Yes, this insecticide can be applied directly to listed animals, including dogs, or around their sleeping areas, bedding, cracks, and crevices.

A: Hello, while Gordon's Total Farm Dust is labeled for use on goats to control mites, there is no specific age limit listed on the label, and it is generally recommended to consult a veterinarian before applying it to very young kids like yours at 3 weeks old. Because young goats have sensitive skin and respiratory systems, it is critical to ensure they do not inhale the dust during application.

A: Yes, this insecticide can be applied directly to listed animals including dogs, or around their sleeping areas including bedding, cracks, and crevices.

A: Yes, you can use Gordon's Total Farm Dust with diatomaceous earth (DE), as both are dust products used for pest control in farm settings, and some users mix DE with other dusts for enhanced effect. However, it's generally unnecessary as they work in similar ways, and applying too much dust can cause insects to avoid the treated area.
