However, according to the California DFG and the Colorado DOW vinegar has never been tested for effectiveness against NZMS or Whirling Disease. By gut feel they believe it probably would not be satisfactory. They are not aware of any testing of vinegar anywhere.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]The Ca DFG did test salt and water solutions to very high concentrations and found it to be 100% ineffective for killing New Zealand Mudsnails. We did not discuss Whirling Disease.[/size][/font]
