Free Range Chickens

I have the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional and want to know if it's safe to let chickens free range on the area that have been treated?

Answer:

Mosquito control applications are not typically applied to the ground where chickens would be grazing since that is not where mosquitoes would primarily be found or harboring. You should be focusing the treatments with the Mosquito Control Kit Professional to areas of dense foliage on the property such as bushes, hedges, wooded areas, in overgrown plant areas or in ground covers such as Ivy or pinestraw, etc. Chickens will primarily be feeding on bugs and would not be impacted by any insects that could die from the insecticide should they eat them afterwards. The chickens would need to be removed from any treatment area while spraying and until everything has had time to dry completely. Should you need an alternative product if you want to spray the whole ground surface for general pests in that area, Essentria All Purpose could be used.
