Is Orange oil safe to spray the chicken coop with?

[Ann Wellhouse]

Summer is coming and I know the fleas, mites and ants will return with the warm weather.

I use Orange oil as a general insect repellant around the house.

Is it ok to use in the Coop?

Thanks.

I don't think I would. It could stress their lungs. If you don't have parasites, don't use anything, and if you do have parasites then use real treatment.
