That's because you don't live in CA. CA is
the most restrictive state I've ever heard of regarding anything that just
"might" harm someone. The state laws are refined to a fine point of
protecting all of us from ourselves, allowing no one to take any risks, make any
judgment for themselves, or bear responsibility for themselves. It must
have something to do with litigation. You use creosote, you burn your
hands, you sue someone for injury, mental stress, lost work time, et al.
You use an ant poison that will actually kill ants and prevent them from
flooding your kitchen, and your child eats it, you sue. The world has gone
mad.....
That's interesting, I
didn't know that. You can still use it in Oklahoma apparently. There is a
mill about 5 miles from mom's house that coats fence posts in the stuff. I see
them hauling semi loads out of there all the
time.

Re: [RC] [RC] Horse Fence Paint
Creosote is a great deterrent to fence
chewing. It is also banned in California as a carcinogenic
substance. So much of the good stuff, the things that really work, are
banned in CA. You can't even buy an ant poison here that will
work.
