"Tarmacked Areas:
Dilute 125ml Jeyes Fluid to 5 litres of water in a watering can, then
apply sufficient solution to thoroughly wet the affected surfaces.
Firstly, make sure to check a small area for softening. If the
tarmacked area softens, use a lower dilution of 60ml product to 5
litres of water and repeat treatment 1 month later."

Dunno, but the smell lingers for days and days. OK if you don't
mind your property smelling like a chemical toilet, I suppose.


I wonder if those stinky ("it must be doing some good") ingredients
are really necessary considering all the modern chemistry we have
these days?


Isn't Jeyes basically phenol?

Rather have the odour of cleaning and disinfecting products be more
appropriate to what they are rather than presented as some soft scent
that is supposed to make you think you are in a field of flowers on a
spring day. Wouldn't mind so much but when a neighbour hangs out
her washing I can't smell the genuine scents of real flowers in our
garden due to the overpowering chemical imitation stink of some
washing liquid/conditioner called Summer Breeze or some such.

It doesn't seem to have done my tarmac drive any harm.

I had a lot of moss growing on my drive. I scraped as much off as I
could with a mechanical scraper, and then applied diluted Jeyes Fluid
(or, rather, a cheaper generic equivalent) with a pump-up garden spray.
I let it stand for a couple of hours to attack what was left of the
moss, and then washed it off with a pressure washer. The tarmac survived
all of that ok, and looked a lot better when I'd finished.

We live in a country area and when Farmer Jones decides to spray liquid manure we have to take the washing in as the odour clings to them and it is anything but pleasany

Thanks for that Roger. I have now sprayed it several times at the recommended dilution and its certainly killing the moss.
M y be my imagination but it now seems to be spreading out from the treated areas. May be taking over. Woooo

Try sprinkling some "oxi" type washing bleach powder on it ...

I get that as well with a field adjoining us. The occasional stink of
the field being farmed is well worth it for the ability the rest of
the time to look out and see up to some woods, the occasional Deer or
Hare passing through the cattle grazing in the spring and on clear
nights a dark sky full of stars.
You may not actually be complaining about Farmer Jones or just simply
stating what you have to do but there are those who want to live in a
country area but are reluctant to realise that dung spreading and
Cockerels crowing come with it.

That's what the instructions say - but I don't know what happens if you
don't!

I left mine on for a couple of days rather than the recommended half
hour (? can't remember exactly) with no ill effects.

Unless there's a drought, it will soon get washed off by rain, anyway.

If he's got a tennis court, the neighbours will be a long way away.

Yes, I guess he will. This Jeyes Fluid type of question seems to come up
quite often though, exactly what is in that foul smelling stuff?

It includes 2.5-5% terpineol 'for fragrance'. LOL! Perhaps it would
smell better without it.

I don't mind the smell, reminds me of my gandparents.

Talking of smells, RAID flykiller used to smell fairly chrysanthemum-ish
if a little sickly-sweet from the pyrethrins, just swapped to a new tin
and the floral smell has been replaced with a chemically smell, what's
that about?

If you read the can label carefully you will find that
they keep changing the insecticide used because
the insects keep getting immune to them. And
eventually go back to the earlier ones when they
start breeding immunity to the latest ones.
