Ark Klens Feeder Disinfectant

Although it’s unlikely to be anyone’s favourite job, the fact is that the regular cleaning of bird feeders is a totally essential element of garden bird feeding. The same also applies to other surface areas garden birds come into contact with when feeding and drinking, such as bird tables and bird baths. This is because a high concentration of birds in a relatively small area and combined with waste from feeding such as seed husks, can produce the conditions for deadly bacteria like Salmonella and E.coli. to develop and spread. In addition, the concentration of birds can also allow the transmission of diseases from one bird to another - e.g. when a bird uses a perch to feed from immediately after another bird.
Ark Klens disinfectant is a great solution to the problem, with Ark-Klens ready to use spray perfect for the quick cleaning of surfaces, and the 250ml concentrate ideal for more thorough cleaning of feeders and their fittings when it’s mixed with water (10ml to 5 litres).
The key active Ark-Klens ingredients are a blend of benzalkonium chloride (quaternary ammonium compounds). As with any disinfectant used to clean bird baths, bird tables and bird feeders, rinse off thoroughly with clean water before use.
