NO ODOR!!!

[Frosted Rabbits]

I had a fellow board member come in last night to see the new babies-- I will probably be giving her grandson one of them as a pet. I asked if there was any offensive odors about the place-- after all, we who love our animals sometimes get immune to the fragrances they produce...

She told me no odor that she could discern- which is what several of my 'caregivers' have been saying, as well. AND, as far as I can tell, since resuming the vanilla in the drinking water, what I was picking up on has been reduced--

I LIKE having a handle on things!!!!

 

[Pickles]

Thats great! What is the ratio you use? And is just plain ole vanilla extract?

PLLLLLLEASE Share your secret.

 

[mountainrabbits]

Yes! Please do share dear!

 

[Frosted Rabbits]

Well you all know I mix peat moss in the litter pan when I can-- but right now, just some plain shavings and one teaspoon of vanilla in a gallon of water. Takes a couple days for the smell to reduce.remember, this is good for fly control, as well-- the flies don't seem to be as interested in the rabbit by=products when the vanilla is added to the drinking water.

we use vanilla car air fresheners to get rid of the flies

I wonder if it would work with chickens....I like ACV in the drinking water for them, but the flies are horrible right around the coop. Can't hurt to try it.

Real or imitation vanilla? :razz:

Real or imitation vanilla? :razz:

I use the imitation Vanilla
and find the same result as others find
with the more expensive Real Vanilla.
If I am going to use Real Vanilla,
it is going to be used for ME!
I add Vanilla in my Pancake batter,
that is the secret ingredient used in
most of the Pancake houses.

I use imitation-- otherwise the expense is just too great-- a friend got me a QUART of imitation vanilla for Christmas a couple years ago!!!

 

[fuzzy9]

Great! Now I'm hungry for pancakes! :lol:

I've been using ACV in our water, would there be more benefit to using one vs. the other?

 

[Frosted Rabbits]

I found the vanilla to be more effective for odor control--never had luck with vinegar for fly control-- but then, I use white vinegar-- ACV, of the proper sort, is hard to get here unless you really drive a long haul.

Maybe try comparing the two, if you can== a month with your current program, a month with vanilla.I am going to try applying the vinegar water a bit differently to my patio cement to see if it's effectiveness will be changed as far dog urine is concerned. really, as much as I love my dog, I really am sickened by his urine odor--111

I find just hosing down the areas my dog pees on outside is enough to get rid of the smell. I usually only do that when it hasn't rained for a few days or more

I live in an apartment -- no hose available-- carrying lots of water can be dangerous for me, as well--' Also, chances are pretty good your dogs 'stuff' is not concentrated in one area. But it is raining now-- flood warnings until some time tomorrow. I LOVE NE Ohio

That's what I was thinking, real vs. imitation vanilla, was $$$. Thanks!
