What disinfectant do you use?
« on: February 15, 2010, 12:41:46 pm »
I have a very large bottle of dettol which I dilute well into warm water to wash the gravel down once a week..but wondered if anything better?
Even though it's winter I still get a "whiff" from the run when it's needing done even though I poop pick-up every day  :-\

Just thinking what will it be like in the Summer...there's only 3 hens!

Or is it just one of those things? :D

I'm a big lover of Jeyes Fluid Red Spider mite and the like definitely don't like it
Don't do today what can be put off until tomorrow because today will be yesterday tomorrow

Me too, but have used Jeyes in the past.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Poultry shield to spray the house once a month in summer for the red mite, stalosan powder in with the wood shavings every week which keep the house from smelling and keeps the bugs away and vircon s every once in a while for a thorough clean

I presume it's safe for birds?
