Yard pest treatment

[Mamatomany123]

We are having one heck of a chinch bug infestation in our backyard and it's now moving to the front. Like, so bad it looks like our ground is moving
I called around and all of the companies said they wouldnt recommended spraying if our chickens free range but if they're in a run then they will just not spray that area. We have 7 chicks in a 35 x 25 run so they dont NEED to roam the yard. I'm still nervous though. Does anyone have experience in a situation like this or have recommendations how to get rid of these bugs in a more chicken friendly way?

We're on 1/2 an acre if that makes a difference. Almost all of it has these chinch bugs. They're even starting to climb on my house

Dang...I have chinch bugs and was hoping to see some good advice on this thread. Good luck to you.

Mine have finally slowed down. I set my birds loose on them and that helped. I also sprinkled food grade diatomaceous earth on my fence and along it. The bugs are coming from my neighbors so if I just need to keep them put.
