Flies....WTF

[Seth140]

So today I was in the coop, all the girls and Ancona ducks outside and flies were well not uncontrollable but annoying see that I clean in there and tidy up every day. So I have glue strips hanging from the ceiling and they catch a tone but you smack them, hit them, etc. I keep door open during the day to air out after I turn their bedding over. So I said to myself, self I said...fix the windows with the screens , which I did, then I said well enough air with windows, keep main doors closed and used the electric tennis rackets and cleaned them all out in about 10 minutes ......I hope everyone uses these, flies drop to ground, chickens eat nice Organic flies..

I love those electric fly zapping tennis rackets. I knew somebody once who used it on her husband... not recommended. I love that you just leave the dead flies for your birds. Perfect circle of life solution.

I'll have to look for mine.

 

[Boppo]

Are you planning to zap flies or a spouse?

I used to have one of those. They're fun and easier than a fly swatter.

We have one of those electric fly swatters too, and yes, they are fun!

What we use in our coop is PT Alpine. We just spray a dot on either side of the window where they congregate and in under half an hour, they''ll all be dead. Safe for chickens to eat too.
