The product, Avian Insect Liquidator ( AIL ) is promised by company veterinarian and marketing manager, Dr Tony Gestier, to control a wide range of insect pests including flys, lice and cockroaches as well as arachnids such as spiders and mites.Dr Gestier says While affectively controlling insects, AIL will not cause harm to the health and fertility of mature birds, fledglings, or eggs. The beauty of this product is that it can be safely and effectively applied to birds and their cages at any stage of their breeding cycle and at any stage of the insect lifecycle. AIL is effective on young insects before and after hatching, as well as on mature insects.Detailed research has already proven AIL to be effective in controlling insects. A study on the effectiveness of AIL on lice in caged birds demonstrated AIL to eliminate lice from birds at the recommended dose rate of 1:20 dilution, at which, numbers of lice on birds in control cages (no treatment) were shown to increase by up to 90%. Where treated birds were returned to untreated cages in which they were in close contact with infected birds, the treated birds remained free of lice for 7 weeks after treatment.The active ingredients in AIL are combined to produce a treatment which overcomes insect pests through direct toxicity as well as through hormonal intervention.
