Hi fp,

Basic G is a very mild environmental friendly germicide that outperforms bleach and kills salmonella, strep, E-coli, feline leukemia and parvo virus and a host of other bacteria, funguses and viruses. It is "pet" friendly and I have used it for years. It lasts forever. I haven't found anything better.

Hi Treesa,

Is that something that is carried through the pigeon supply houses? I know the nolvasan is considered effective and is surprisingly mild, almost non-existent in odor. I'm still working on the small quantity that I purchased, but I don't mind adding something to my never ending pij supply house list.

Feralpigeon,

Basic-G would be a Shaklee product. They don't like being compared to Amway but their marketing structure used to be similar and probably still is. You will need to find a distributor in your area, I think, to acquire some.

hi fp,

Thanks Pidgey! That is indeed a Shaklee product, and may even be purchased in your local supermarket in California from what I have heard.

This one has a mild pine smell and you dilute it down, I use it sparingly also. If you have trouble finding it let me know and I will help you. It is a family favorite I have used for years.

I love Basic-G. I hated the smell of bleach. Now I use basic G for everything and once a week I disinfect my bird room with it.

badbird, I'm so sorry the bird died. You gave him a warm, comfortable environment for his last hours.

The resulting list of safe, effective cleaners is good information. Thanks!
