Respirator To Wear When Sweeping Out Chicken House

[KatsRule2759]

Hello, I was wondering what's a good respirator to wear when sweeping out a chicken house?

Thank you for your help.

I've been using the 3M N95's with the valve (#8511) and it's worked great:

Yep. Anything N95 will be more than adequate for dust. But be sure the size you get fits. I just failed respirator training two days ago at the day job because NONE of the 3M masks fit me properly (apparently the bridge of my nose is too narrow or something).

Thank y'all for the info. Do you know of a respirator that keeps out the ammonia smell?

Thanks.

Just make sure the filters will work with the mask you get...should say in the description.
