C&T Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi people, Our WIR has been in place since end of summer last year, and I can't imagine life without it now. Looking forward to sorting out the garden around it come spring time! But, been thinking about the spring, and mites... Now the Eglu itself is not a problem. Used to cleaning that out thoroughly and had no issues in the past. But not sure how to approach keeping the (wooden) WIR clear of mites. Thinking about the actual wood WIR (i.e. all the joints etc). Does anyone recomend a good product to use - especially as a deterrent? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I spray it, when the mood takes me, with Smite, in one of those pumpy-uppy type garden sprays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks Egluntine. I'll have a look out for it. With a second child arriving in May, I want to make sure I am on top of the chooks before he arrives and life becomes a bit busy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Must admit I've never treated mine . I always thought they didn't like to live anywhere with daylight so were more likely to take up residence in an eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
