Anyone familiar with this brand of Nicotine?

[TrollDragon]

I have a chance to pick up this glass bottle of Siegfried Nicotine 10% for nothing, it's never been opened and should still have the Argon gas in it.

Is anyone familiar with this brand as there is zero information about it on the net. I find the label "Not for Human Use" at the bottom of the bottle a little strange or is that something they put on them to bypass customs etc?

Do they make nicotine that is not safe to use in DIY?

Thanks!

On the trail... it’s a pharm/chem company. Nicotine is sold through partnership with Germany’s Contraf-Nicotex-tobacco GmbH. I can dig more later if you need

There are not for human uses of nicotine. One that comes to mind is it’s one of the very very few pesticides that work on emerald borer beetles. It is generally injected into the tree

Since there is no CAS-NO on the bottle, that suggests it has not been further refined into something used by humans. I would only use it as a pesticide. Please don't vape this, it probably contains impurities that we don't know about. This seems to be the type of company that sells pure nicotine to labs across the world to refine into safer products.

It’ll be great for getting rid of bugs in the garden then.

All of them unfortunately. Nicotinoids are what is wiping out the bees

Yup. Wiped about 75% of em here in the good old Bratwurstland, along with butterflies, wasps, moths and bumblebees. By the end of this year only very few neonicotinoids (3-5 or so) are allowed to be used as pesticides and only in closed greenhouses. EU apparently did some good for once (and very late I must say).

You live in bratwurst land?! Sounds tasty but fattening

You're right except for the tasty part. Until recently they didn't even put steaks on the grill. Just those grey cuttered to death sad textureless tubes of cartilage and fat. Never understood why. After the war there probably wasn't much to eat and that's what they came up with.
What you call "German sausage" in the US has barely anything to do with what you get here, and in a good way, consider yourself lucky.

Yep, its CNT. I wouldn't be touching it with the warning on the bottle and no CAS number because they do make 'human grade' as well.

I'd say go ahead and take your time getting the wasps back. Little troublemakers.

I dunno. They have festivals for German sausage around here. Metwurst and knakwurst are yummy too. I never did have them actually in Germany though

Imho the best thing for wasps is delta dust and traps. Or the squirt stuff if you have a freestanding nest you can reach with it. Delta dust is great. You put it on their landing area and it sticks to their feet. They track it into the hive and it poisons the queen

Regicide?

It worked for the Russians

Didn’t think about that. I just recall my grandfather using soaked tobacco leaves in a spray. Of course, that was the 1960’s

Wasps are great for getting rid of aphids. I keep a few bird houses for them and they never build nests on or in the house. They don't bother the animals or me at all.

Thanks @NolaMel @Sugar_and_Spice and @Vapntime I will definitely give it a pass, much appreciated!

Nic is expensive here in Canada and the chance for a free bottle of 100mg was very tempting, but I knew I had to check with ECF first.

Cheers!


I'm done here so you guys can continue on with the pest control discussion or @classwife can close it.

"Mett" is minced pork with some spices. It's actually also eaten raw on a bun with raw onions, dubbed "construction worker jam"
