Whatever you are dealng with; worms, maggots, etc. I would suggest you get some food grade d.e. It will get rid of any unwanted bugs. Only one word of caution, it will get rid of beneficial bugs (bee's and ladybugs) as well if you don't use it carefully. The d.e. can be spread in a brooder, coop or run to kill bugs and parasitic worms, as well as fed to your chickens to kill any bugs or worms inside of them. Wolfcreekranch.com has great info on the subject of d.e. as well as the when, where and how much to use. Just be sure you get food grade d.e. and not the stuff for swimming pools. Food grade d.e. is natural and safe for animals of any size or age.
