catherinedon Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ok here goes Im going to clean the whole run out and put all new bedding down disinfect etc soon as time to change bedding but also the girls have lice. There are so many products i'm confused. I use barrier v1 weekly to clean the cube and eglu and ocassionally sprinkle Diatom on bedding and floors (but have to confess have not done recently) people on here are recomending stalosan and im now confused by all teh products. can someone please give me a quick rundown. I am going to treat again with lice powder today and during the week and hopefully do all of the bedding etc next week. would really like to get rid of all the lice for good and keep the girls area nice thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeluk69 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I use barrier v1 to disinfect the house...make sure your dilution is correct. I was advised that the house shouldn't need disinfecting as often as every week but it also depends on how many hens you have. Leave it to dry then use diatom to coat the inside of the house, all the nooks and crannies and perches. I also put diatom in a deep cat litter tray with some soil or compost for a dust bath. Stalosan F is for the outside ground, use a good handful every day for 3 days, then once a week. Hope that helps, are your girls any better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Xeno 200 will kill all internal & external parasites (not licensed for use in poultry). You vet will advise how much to give them. It does the job. Not hit and miss but there is an egg withdrawal period. Alli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
