Red Devil Lye causes the pipes to heat up as it dissolves the soap scum. It may be banned if you're on munincipal water, though.

What is that concerning, please?

Thanks!

I think cats figures if the pipes heat up, the critter will leave.

Right the first time, Hheath.

[hheath541]

yay, go me ^_^

[Clough]

But, how would I put that kind of stuff on vertical pipes, please?

Thanks!

[hheath541]

You pour it down the drain, it makes it's own way through the pipes.

[Clough]

Won't using that sort of stuff damage the pipes, though?

[hheath541]

It's a chemical reaction between the build-up and the lye. If you have pvc pipes, it might not be a good idea. I don't think it would damage metal pipes, though.

I get the impression that it's potentially dangerous to the water supply, which is why cats said it might be banned in your area.

If they're anything but copper, yes it will. It was the very first drain cleaner, back when indoor plumbing was a new idea. It takes about 5 years to eat through galvanized, with pvc and black pipe, just don't.

I was being a bit sardonic, Clough, but the unexpected heat will get your critters running. If you can get under your house, some rat poison will probably help more than heating the pipes.

I heard some critters, so I got out my camera...


I've got more but will do 3 at a time

Kermit let his wild friend in and they had a little party,, and marshmellows for desert!

[thisisit]

Yummy marshmellows!

[thisisit]

Thank goodness Kermit closed the window after his friend left, he got it completely closed :)

[Clough]

thisisit is a very interesting as well as captivating person! :)

[Clough]

I'm getting inspired to start a new thread about critters. Will be coming sometime in the near future...

Need to get going now...

Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it, was hoping you'd get a laugh out of it :). The raccoon was a frequent visitor of mine a few years ago. She had a litter one spring and they all used to come beg for food. Marshmellows were a favorite, preferred most other treats.
