Does anyone use Microbe-Lift Chicken Coop Cleaner and Odor Eliminator?

Wondering if anyone uses this product, and if it works?

Never heard of it but I can tell you that if you don't pick up poop and keep the coop extremely dry no amount of product is going to make your coop clean/smell good.

Sorry, but it sounds like a gimmick to me.

There should not be ammonia in a coop that's properly ventilated.

It sounds like the spray may be based on nitrifying bacteria.
For an example: when a bacterial filter is working in a fish tank, it's not a passive system, it requires forced contact as the water flows through the filter media. All of the water gets cycled through many times per day. The walls and the floor of the fish tank host the same bacteria, but they can't handle anything like the load the active filter can.

In order for something like that to work on the air of a closed system, a similar forced flow design would be necessary. Just spraying the walls and bedding isn't going to do much, IMO.
It's far more effective and economical to let nature handle it by sufficiently venting the bad air out.

Thank you. We don't have an issue, just saw it on Amazon in chicken supplies and was curious.

You will see LOTS of chicken paraphernalia that is mostly to make money(and make keepers feel good) with little to no benefit to the birds themselves.
