They dont like vet RX ..its the strong rosemary smell that drives them off. You can mix it into a spray and it makes thier combs and legs and feathers gleem too..SMELL LASTS FOR DAYS....and skin so soft, but I dont know if the skin so soft is toxic to chickens .
There has been a plague all over the US of different insects,,I grew up in this area , and the past 6 years or so , the ticks and black flies get worse and worse..we used to run and play in the woods, never ever had a tick, now everyone who goes in the edge of the woods comes out with at least one..its just bad all over..my neice who is a nurse in alaska told me that the carabou in alaska have always had mosquito problem that drives them nuts in summer, but for laST 10 years or so its litereally killing them, she said she used to be able to go pick blueberry but it has gotten so bad anymore they cant get out there without bee suits. or else they come back all welted and swollen..
