How do you keep bugs and flies out of a duck cage?

[Tlammy]

My ducks are around 4 months old, and i dont want to use anything that could poision them at this age, how do you guys keep the cage/coop clean? I dont want them to get mites/lice or anything like that. Or what products that wouldnt harm the ducks could i use?

You can put up fly string(you can find it at Walmart). You hang it out of you flock's reach and leave it there for a few days.

My ducks are adults and try to eat flies. But we sometimes get ants or other little bugs in our coop. When that happens, i will sprinkle some food grade Diatomaceous Earth around, and top with straw. i also use Poultry Protector spray in there. It's all natural and does a good job. Ducks generally do not get mites or lice. If they have a pool or pond to swim in, that washes those critters off.
