yes I do...not so much my chickens but my dog and cats. Last year even after applying frontline on all my animals I still had fleas. I had read about DE on another site about flea control so I order some online. Coated all the cats and dog with it and at first I didn't think it was going to work but after about two weeks no fleas. I had a pretty good infestation in my house too and it also cleared up with alot of cleaning and sweeping though. This year I used it right before it got warm here in PA and I haven't seen a flea yet. I also dusted the cat items bed, cat tree etc. I have dusted my chicken coop a couple of times so far and it seems to keep the flies down also. Good Luck...
