Yes, it is quite obvious you totalły love people. That is good, because we actually can't live isolated from them. (No man is an ..........)
Wow, you have quite a project going on there. I have a Mr. Heater on a propane tank - for emergencies - and I like it a lot. I think it can do a good job of drying things out. I have a suggestion for you that has worked for me and by which I swear: benzyalkonium chloride. This compound - or some variation of it - is used in hospitals and Dr..s' offices to sterilize surfaces and medical equipment. We used it in the old folks' home to mist and sterilize dining tables. It is a super-wetting agent which, when misted and dried, causes all the little germy buggers it contacts to implode. This is the active ingredient in the no-alcohol purifying hand-washes, and, if you look hard enough, you may be able to find "wipes" with it. I use a diluted spray of the 50% concentrate to kill and inhibit mold around my sink and other areas. It works. I use wipes to kill Candida outbreaks on myself. Some people, especially older folks, suffer from yeast infections, but I NEVER do - because this stuff stops it in its tracks. A tiny bit goes a long way, and too much can be dangerous. It should NOT be inhaled. I think it will kill mite and lice infestations, certainly everything microbial. It might destroy Clostridium bacteria - and their spores - and it can kill fungal infestations, possibly even toe nail fungi. I spray it on my cuts and wounds to prevent infection, and the only time I had one is when I didn't spray a torn cuticle; this stuff stopped the infection immediately when I finally sprayed it on. I think I had something like ringworm once, and it disappeared after a few sprayings with this. I use it on cuts on my animals, too. Hands down, this is the best stuff I have ever used. It's odorless and non-toxic when dry, and although the concentrate is pricey, the dilution at which it is used makes it very economical; to my knowledge it is stable and doesn't break down, so it will last a long time. I would have no problem with putting some concentrate in an atomizer and fogging the coop with it. You might want to Google it; although much of what I've written represents off-label use, it might be worth your while. i got a degree - and worked for 14 years - in Medical Technology, and you should consider this an "informed" recommendation, not just casual and anecdotal. And of course it is FWIW. Bottom line is I wish you SUCCESS in getting your coop issues resolved. Blessings
