My coop is over run with what looks like fleas. I've checked the chickens and can't find any on them.( Even though I'm sure they HAVE to be full of fleas. ) They don't have any black spots on their combs or wattles so I don't think the are sticky fleas , that I've seen people talking about. How do I get rid of them? And does this mean that my dogs and cats are full of fleas too? I haven't found any on my animals either. But maybe I'm just terrible at looking. Lol but please what do I use on my coop that won't hurt the chickens?
 
I’ve never had a flea infestation but I have had mites. I cleaned out the coop and run and dusted with food grade diatomaceous earth, although scone people say to use pethimatrim or something like that. It might be an insect that doesn’t parisitze on chickens, so at that point I wouldn’t treat them unless you see them on the birds.
