Draft Guidance on use of insecticides for treatment of animal vehicles

Before the animals have been loaded on the vehicle the inside of the animal compartment must be treated with a residual spray licensed by the Health and Safety Executive.

The following list of HSE authorised insecticides are synthetic pyrethroids approved for use against flying insects, and can be used in animal housing or similar areas such as abattoirs. The below list is for guidance purposes only, and is not a definitive list.

These products maybe suitable for use in this situation, however the professional user will need - as with any other treatment - to do their own risk assessment before using the product to see if it can be used in their particular situation.

Insecticides must be used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Spraying at rates beyond the manufactures instructions will not improve efficacy and increases the risk of groundwater and surface water pollution.

Synthetic pyrethroids are very toxic to insect life in rivers and streams. You must take great care not to allow these products to enter surface or groundwater. In particular, spraying vehicles on a hard stand presents particular dangers as run-off can be concentrated.
