Creocote

[Eco-Chic]

Creocote is a wood preservative with the added benefit of discouraging red mite.

Disinfecting the coop with Smite or Poultry shield twice a month should prevent an infestation.

Take a look at the red mite Sticky at the top of the Rule the Roost thread for a horror read and what to do if you do get an infestation.

I could be wrong but Creosote/Creocote works by killing off all lifeforms as its toxic when wet . Creosote itself blocks all cracks in the wood so no nesting spots ( yet Creosote was toxic when dry so worked as a long term pest killer )
