Permethrin is toxic to cats!

Is there a cat in the household? Following on from our Permethrin toxicity in cats survey (C&T September 2008, mailing 252), the CVE is grateful to long-time supporter Frank Gaschk for designing three lively cartoons to accompany the Permethrin toxicity warning. These cartoons have been incorporated into a label and two A4 posters. We urge you to place the label on the relevant products and the A4 posters on your surgery walls.
