So we established in an earlier thread that I have mites in my coop. It's old, made of wood, and has lots of good hiding places.
Tomorrow I'm going to clean it out and dust with sevin.
Before dusting with Sevin, I'm going to clean really well. What's the best way to get these little buggers out of their hiding places in cracks and crevices?
Pressure-washer? (blast 'em out!)
Bug-Bomb?
Apply the hot air-gun or blow-torch to the cracks (careful not to ignite the whole thing)?
I'm going to win.
And I'm wondering why all the advice I'm finding is saying to dust the birds with Sevin too. I thought the mites weren't on the birds during the day?
