Hey Mel,
Multicrop EcoGrub 3 in 1 can be used on Australian native gardens, as it is made from naturally derived ingredients and contains no harmful synthetic poisons. It is generally safe for use on most plants, including native species. However, it's always recommended to test the product on a small area first to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
Regarding the Kookaburras, the product is designed to be environmentally friendly and does not leave harmful residues in the soil. However, there are some considerations:
1. The product contains natural eucalyptus and tea tree oil, which are native to Australia, making it less likely to harm native wildlife.
2. While EcoGrub is not a scheduled poison, it's still an insecticide that kills grubs, which are a food source for Kookaburras.
3. There is some concern about birds eating treated insects, but specific information on EcoGrub's effect on Kookaburras is not provided.
To minimize potential risks to Kookaburras:
1. Apply the product as directed, ensuring it penetrates the soil where grubs are located.
2. Allow the treated area to dry completely before allowing birds to access it.
3. Consider using alternative methods of grub control if you're particularly concerned about the Kookaburras' well-being.
If you decide to use EcoGrub, monitor the Kookaburras' behavior and health after application. If you notice any unusual changes, discontinue use and consult a local wildlife expert.
