annettec Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Does anyone use the Easibed Plus rather than the plain Easibed have just read the website and the plus version has a fly deterrant,which sounds like a good idea but not sure if safe for the chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 What is the active ingredient in the fly deterrant? Usually it is just citronella - if so, go for the cheaper one and spray it with your own mix of citronella spray (10 drops citronella essential oil in 1 litre of water). It works a treat and makes the cube smell lovely (I also add 5 drops of tea tree oil). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I do the same as Snowy but with Aubiose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley8179 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Always worry about fly strike, so I have just got everything to make the spray from ebay, thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1smiles2000 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 hi ladies, sorry dont know about the easibed but where can i get citronella to make a spray? i cant find it Also any good online suppliers of easibed/ auboise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Don't know about on-line suppliers of easi-bed/aubiose/hemcore as i get mine from a local horsey place p=but I've got citronella (Plus other oils like eucalyptus and lavender) from here before. Didn't think the prices were too bad. I then mix up a spray bottle of water with a few drops of oil added and spray all over the place. Lovely.

shelley8179 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 You can get auboise from http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Aubiose_Hemp_Bedding.html but it is more money then I get it from locally. I got my citronella from ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
