ruth1 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I line my trays with newspaper then chuck a handful of hemcore on and drop some citronella onto that, the smell lingers and the ouse smells nice and citrussy There was a great tip on another thread about dropping it on to terracotta pots as they are porous to deter flies to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I sometimes put 2 drops of pure citronella oil into the poop tray (which has newspaper and Auboise in it). You can also put a few drops on some kitchen towel and tuck it high up under the shade in the run where the chooks can't eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i put drops into a small sprayer thing and shake them up with water then spray the inside of the eglu roof and the bars/ poo tray before putting paper and hemcore in. Also spray the covers. seems to work ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy77 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 would the oil not damage the plastic at all. I was wondering as am keen to try some of the oil in my cube. was thinking of mixing some drops with water in a plant spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I just sprinkle a few drops onto the Aubiose in the poo tray. Seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
