Gee, I thought Georgia was hot. This year we're having a really unusually mild Spring, haven't hit over 90 yet :) We do get heat up to 105-108 - but my coop/run is totally covered and under deciduous trees is much cooler.

PDZ is Horse Stall Freshner - locally I can get it at Tractor Supply - mix it into wet areas and it dries them out and stops the smells moisture causes. It is safe if the flock eats some :)

Thank you for the link :) I didn't know tihs

This will also help controling the # flies ?

Tractor supply company ? i think the closest one for me is 10-15 miles. I wonder if petco or petsmart or wal-mart will have the same item in stock..

I don't know if PDZ helps with flies - but think it does not.

Chicken Poop does attract them.

I think most folks use those hang up fly traps? Do a search in the forums and bet you can find an answer.

I bought 2 fly traps from wal-mart.

I used one. It worked well but the smell is even worst than the chicken manure

and it attracted even more flies

I think it's best to build your own like the site I included above and use chicken manure as bait.

I saw they have those mosquitoes netting available. I'm thinking of just wrapping those around coop/run to prevent flies from getting in while still provide ventilation for the coop/run.
