Stedic Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Citronella generally helps - I got some essence from Holland and Barrett. I've put a few drops onto the coop, it should work but there are still a few flies, I guess the heat is causing that though. If its only a problem in the evening you could try those candles you can get from B&Q etc - quite a few come on long poles/stakes so they would be well out of the way of curious chickens.
