Knats in poop boards!

[Annalyse]

Is there anything I can put into the PDZ to help with Knats. I’m going to clean in it every day but the Knats burry themselves. I’ll replace the PDZ tonight but could I put lavender or something in the board? My flock will eat anything so if it’s near there roost they think it’s a bedtime snack.

Is it getting moist in there?
You can try a gnat trap or adding permethrine poultry dust to the poop board.

Are you finding actual gnats in the PDZ....how deep is it?

Not that deep the board is maybe and 1-2 in barely. The gnats are going after the poop and eventually burry themselves and crawl around in the PDZ even after removing the poop. I’m going to start fresh tonight.

No moisture besides from the poop.
