I even use it to keep those nasty critters out of my house and myself. This stuff lasts for a long time. Found it around here at Dollar General and Farm and Home. I have 42 chickens and have not lost a one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273793291015714751.post-31985005204666799592016-03-16T20:11:59.415-07:002016-03-16T20:11:59.415-07:00Every year for three to four weeks in spring I hav...Every year for three to four weeks in spring I have this biting gnats in my place. I have tried several things but what it seems to work for me is bathing the birds in a very light mix of water and malathion. I use a five gallon bucket and pour just enough malathion (about one ounce). I submerge the entire bird in the water keeping their heads above the mix so it won't drink it or get it on their eyes. Please note that mixing too much malathion where the water is murky white or near white is too strong and will hurt or even kill your chicken. The small the amount the better. All you want is a slight change in the water clarity. Once they dry out I apply vicks vapor rub in the heads, wattles, combs, and mainly behind the ears when those gnats seems to bite. I bath them once a week with the malathion and apply the vicks vapor rub every other day. With the Vapor Rub they get a day or two of relief. Please do not hate me for applying this stuff on my chickens. This has worked for me and have lost only one rooster in five years I have been dealing with the gnats. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273793291015714751.post-12573865184737357822014-11-12T05:59:45.859-08:002014-11-12T05:59:45.859-08:00Una hermosa entrada sobre las gallinitas y las pla...Una hermosa entrada sobre las gallinitas y las plantas!!Me encantan<br /><br />Vivo en un pueblecitoo donde muchos de mis vecinos tienen sus gallinas,,sus huertos y venden sus huevos que no tienen nada que ver con los de los comercios..El sabor es riquisimo!!<br /><br />Gracias por compartir<br />Con cariño VicttoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710979161346216289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273793291015714751.post-7103252380130870842014-08-13T10:37:34.404-07:002014-08-13T10:37:34.404-07:00How cool that you have your own hens!
