Works great, but you cant use it around chickens.  They have big yellow strips that work just as good that you can hang up that kill flies, I think its the same company that makes golden malrin, and you can keep it away from your chickens, and any other animals you might have around.

 

These are what I use in the barn:

I put them in a bucket and put the bucket where the chickens can get to it.  The flies drop like, well, flies, when they land on it.  You can fill up a bucket with dead flies if your problem is that bad.

That stuff will drop a coon with one drink. It is poisonous to birds and animals a like. But if you can be assured that no one can get into it, I have a whole can I bought and never used after reading it.

I saw that, but i am going to try it in special holders above the coop area, so its not near the hens, but the coons can come get it if they want it :P
