seven dust

Is it safe to use Seven dust in and around the chicken run? None of ours are old enough to lay eggs yet.

It has been the Go To insecticide for many years. That said, and this is my personal opinion, there are safer products available.
10 minutes of research will show you many products that are organic, safe and effective. I'm not talking about garlic and rose hips either.

I was just wondering because it specifies not to put it directly on animals and they will come in contact with it. I am also aware if Diatomaceous Earth..but want something strong for the first application.

Some of these products are available in local retail stores. While Johnny's features many of these with a garden lice and insect orientation, they are equally effective for coop cleaning and so forth. There simply are safer products to use.
