Lianne Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I bought an Eglu because I liked the look of it! Shallow, I know! Having said that I have had wooden houses before and no matter what chemical I powdered, sprayed, fed, cleaned with, etc I had terrible trouble with red mite! I have had these rescue chickens for 5 months and only sprayed and then hosed the house with an animal safe disinfectant. It takes about 10 mins and I have had no problems at all!
