I have 8 girls and they had fleas a few months ago. I cleaned out the coop, shop vac'd it and everything, and dumped a 4 lbs. of DE all over the place, scattered it about with a sieve in and out of the coop/run. I didn't see fleas on the birds, but they are a hard bunch to catch.
Well, the fleas are back with a vengence. It's been really hot and dry here and my son is responsible for them now so I haven't been out there as much. Did notice little dots on eggs, I've seen those before with mites, but DE usually took care of it.
Went to feed this morning and man, they are everywhere, jumping on me. I don't know how to get rid of them, don't want to bring them into the house or let them find my dog. There were all over my pants!
Can I flea bomb the coop? I locked the girls out today and put a nesting box in the run. I prefer organic methods but will do must about anything to get rid of these fleas.
Any help would be great, Thank you!
