pests
« on: September 04, 2009, 10:21 »
Has anyone tried foggers to get rid of mites etc in the hen house?
There is a fogger called Strikeback which I thought might be ok??
Fogs get into every crevice, I've used them in kennels and they are very efficient.
Does anyone have any experience of them?

At the moment I've been bitten by something and the itching is driving me potty, and I'm
wondering if poultry bugs will bite humans??

I saw a very tiny orange coloured spider (?) in my utility room the other day and wondered if that was a poultry spider mite?  It looked like the type of tiny orange spider often seen on concrete in warm weather (?)  I need lots of information cos I'm not sure what to do.  Even the dogs are scratching and they've been treated with Frontline.

Any ideas please, pretty please :(

I've seen these foggers in our local tesco's but not read the bumph on the packets so don't know about suitability for chickens, sorry. I did see when we have been to the States that they use them alot in their houses.
Staffies are softer than you think.
