Deep cleaning the coop last night I discovered tiny bugs in a few crevices which I assumed were mites. I have yet to find one on any of my four hens but going to check again in a bit. Upon research they may not be mites - they were tiny like mites but more oval if that even makes sense. Black and red. I grabbed poultry dust and spray and ordered Elector online (it will arrive Thursday). I’m assuming this will work on all bugs?
I was in the process of:
1. moving my pullets into coop
2. Installing wall panels to hide studs for ease of cleaning
3. Installing larger piece of floor vinyl to extend 3-4” up the walls
My question is, how long should I wait before doing any of these things? Besides the obvious of not physically seeing a bug. Of course I don’t want pullets exposed to that and I also don’t want to put on a bandaid and block them into the walls if I still have an issue. Thanks guys!
