One of my streams is crawling with signal crays; my others aren't thank God but do have white clawed chaps. Am worried about spreading the invaders- what disinfectant should I use and where do I buy it please? (vets, farm shops , Amazon).Thanks in advance

Can only think of Jeyes, John, used it a lot as a lad on a farm, and you can still get it.

Widely used by vets (very expensive) and in Foot & Mouth disease control, vehicle mats etc. I wonder if farmers near previously infected areas would possibly have old stocks for the asking..?

Since the others got you right with disinfectant, how about setting a few traps for the lil fellas and following this recipe Zatarains Easy-Boiled-Crawfish
Talk about good!
