I use

HY-Yield
55%
Malathion

mix it as directed and I use this once every 3 months

you might have to use it as needed until you get the the upper hand

maybe 2 time per week for the first week.

and then I just seven dust the heads of the chickens too just in case.

ETA: I have 9 pens total ranging from 12X12 to 10X10 the biggest is 16X24
