RobJo Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi just wondering as a new chicken keeper which product is best for disinfecting runs coops etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryegg Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'm no expert but for my Eglu I just use weak fairy liquid and warm water for the regular big clean. I expect someone else will have better advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I use a few Stalosan F is a powder disinfectant and useful for sprinkling on soil, concrete, woodchip or in coops Poultry Sheild is a spray useful for cleaning plastics and can be used on plastic and wooden coops to kill germs and blitz red mite too Virkon is a powder or tablet disinfectant and great for a big full on clean - its very strong I'd say that Stalosan F is probably the most useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryegg Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thanks from me as well. If I do get a problem I will know what to use.I do use red mite powder in the Eglu just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Virkon or Viratec are both good for wet cleaning. I used BioDri as a powdered disinfectant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
