i am happy you found our posts helpfulalso a good bait for voles and gophers and animals like them is onion, its good because it has a strong smell they can smell far away and its also a common thing they eat anyway. oh and if you have any holes in a building like your house or whatever stuff it with steel wool, it will stop them and if they try to eat it it will shred their insides up.![]()

Oh, great. I guess that means I'll be planting an inverted cage when I put onions in the ground next year. Them's MAH onions!
Ara, vinegar may work well to help sanitize the coop. Whenever I have to clean out the plastic carriers that some of my girls sleep in, I use regular dish soap. I figure that if by chance I miss rinsing some, it's not nearly as harmful to them as some of the chemicals out there. I have hosed down an old coop with bleach water before, but it had a couple of weeks to dry before any chickens went in there.
