Well, I have a couple of places that it could probably be used, and make things look quite nice too. I'm not bothered about making it up - that's no hassle and I would rather spend a little more time than a little more money, you know?

If you do it in the morning they'll be able to go back in to roost at night as it evaporates quite quickly. Ours didn't have any adverse effects & our chickens were so much happier once the dreaded mite were gone.
