F10 have lots of different types of products, whilst i know nothing about any problems, if you are using insecticide on an animal, you are asking for trouble anyway!! I use F10 anti fungal and anti bacterial cream, and have had nothing but excellent results from it.

As gingerpony said, it is only the F10 insecticide that is dangerous, all the other F10 products are fine.

I've been using F10 sc disinfectant concentrate for cleaning out all my animals for years. It's the best animal safe disinfectant around.

Yet to also add to this;
I have been in contact with the manufacturers and distributors of the f10 insecticide, it's not purely the products fault that it was causing issues. Don't get me wrong, insecticide can cause issues if used in to strong a mix, which was the problem.
The instructions idiot proof, and that's what caused the problems.
F10 recalled until they can sort out the instructions to make it idiot proof, although I am aware of some reptile keepers that would have the ability to stuff up the simple act of diluting water.

Any chemicals should be used on the cautionary side of how youve been instructed, it makes it safer for yourself and your pet.
