Here is more information about SWF. The search shows that the animal has to be warm bloodied. I guess that means no lizards or snakes. The question from https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1213540&posts=... . The answer on wildlife, no we never went after deer or other wildlife or sheep or angora goats. When we castrated calves or lambs dad we did spray the lambs and calves with the insecticide of the day. Yes that sticky stuff. I forget its name.
