Is this product safe for aquatic life? As we will be working near a stream.

It doesn't say on the container, but I would imagine that it is safe. If you continue to have concerns, you should contact the company itself. Sorry that I couldn't be more specific.

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.

There is a warning label on the tube that pretty much says you shouldn't use it on or near any open water. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to test some light rapids assuming the rocks you plan on pumping into to aren't terribly sharp. The tube appears to be quite durable and well made. I just haven't used it anywhere other than our swimming pool. Hope this helps.

No. The label reads that the product can only be used in unused swimming pools standing water etc. There are label warnings about toxicity. We only use them for our rain barrel or standing water to eliminate mosquito larvae.

I am not aware of any official statement of its long term stability to exposure to water, but I'd be willing to use mine as you describe. Just to check, I soaked mine and it is fine.

I emailed Lifestraw and this is what they sent me...LifeStraw® does not have a shelf life - we have tested it up to 5 years without detectable deterioration in our water lab, and there are no organics or otherwise unstable elements in the unit.

It is natural bacteria that is not suppose top be harmful to fish plants or animals and I have been using it for 3 years and my KOI, Goldfish, frogs and plants have not had any problem with it. I do not have Trapdoors but I would assume that they should be alright with it.

Not sure, but it's certainly worth trying. It's inexpensive, and simple to use. I'm not sure that it is safe for pets, or fish. The basic principleseems similar to a hot tub, except the temperature. Good luck.

Call the company. Some companies use water which is safest, others use extracting chemcals

Not sure I'd want to swim in it, but I read that some used it in watering troughs. Do you use chemicals in your pool? From researching, it is a bacteria that consumes the larvae not supposedly harmful to humans. Sorry not to be more help.

I've used this product in a semi-outdoor setting. I definitely would avoid exposure to water, rain, moisture,etc. Its not a sealed unit, nor is it water proof-but it still creates a great water effect.

I would call the company. It says it's safe for birds and animals but Fish are much more susceptible to chemicals so I would doublecheck but I would think that the fish would really love mosquito larva and gobble them up.

I ran my cable through a pond last year for about 60 LF, though not directly in the water. The soil was saturated with water. I have not had any issues. If needed you could run it through some PVC conduit through the creek, if would be otherwise exposed. This cable is as heavy duty as you can find.

I used it last summer and really don't remember the specifics. I used it on a roof and recall being careful not to over spray onto surrounding shrubs & trees. I don't think it was dangerous to the vegetation. There is a caution in the instructions about using near wetlands, lakes, ponds and streams. Apparently has a negative impact on fresh water supplies. It works very well, although slowly over a period of time. Up to several months depending on conditions and exposure.

I guess it depends on the river and how fast the water is moving!I would advise against it if you are likely to come into contact with rocks and trees as the material is not strong enough and will easily puncture!
