POULTRY COOP GRANULES – NATURAL PARASITE & PEST CONTROL SYSTEM
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Premium food-grade diatomaceous earth granules naturally occurring from fossilised diatoms for comprehensive coop and run parasite control while providing superior moisture absorption and odor management. Features naturally formed microscopic structures that work through mechanical action to eliminate mites, lice, fleas, and crawling pests that threaten poultry health and productivity. Australian-sourced with granular format for extended effectiveness and easy application around coops, nesting areas, and run perimeters. Not intended for direct food application – designed exclusively for environmental pest control and coop maintenance.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
Premium Australian-Sourced Diatomaceous Earth Environmental Protection System
Animal Wellbeing’s Poultry Coop Granules deliver comprehensive environmental pest control for poultry housing through naturally occurring fossilised diatoms. Our premium food-grade diatomaceous earth granules provide mechanical pest elimination while offering superior moisture absorption and odor control for healthier coop environments and optimal bird welfare.
Natural Ingredient Benefits:
– Mechanical Pest Control: Microscopic sharp edges of naturally formed fossilised diatoms physically damage pest exoskeletons through abrasive action, causing dehydration and elimination of red mites, northern fowl mites, poultry lice, fleas, and other crawling insects
– Moisture Management: Highly absorbent granules effectively reduce humidity levels in coop environments, creating unfavorable conditions for pest reproduction, bacterial growth, and fungal development
– Odor Reduction: Natural absorption properties neutralise ammonia and organic odors from droppings and bedding, maintaining fresher coop air quality for improved bird health and comfort
– Environmental Barrier: Creates long-lasting protective barrier around coop perimeter that deters pest invasion, reduces parasite load in living areas, and prevents pest establishment
– Extended Protection: Granular format provides superior longevity compared to powder applications, maintaining effective pest control for weeks while resisting wind dispersal and weather conditions
– Chemical-Free Solution: Provides comprehensive pest control without synthetic pesticides, maintaining natural environment suitable for organic poultry operations and sustainable farming practices
Professional Granular System
Premium granular format ensures optimal coverage distribution and extended effectiveness while providing convenient application that maintains pest control performance in outdoor environments and high-traffic coop areas.
Ideal for all poultry housing including chicken coops, duck houses, turkey shelters, quail enclosures, and free-range run areas requiring natural pest control and comprehensive environmental management.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Coverage Rate: 100-200g per square meter depending on pest pressure and environmental conditions
Application Areas:
– Inside coop flooring, corners, and perimeter areas
– Nesting box surroundings and roosting areas
– Around external coop perimeter (1-meter protective border)
– Run areas, dust bath locations, and high-traffic zones
– Feed storage areas and equipment surroundings
PROCEDURE
Calculate total coverage area required • Measure appropriate granule amount • Distribute evenly using spreader or manual application • Focus on corners, cracks, entry points, and pest-prone areas • Reapply weekly or after heavy rainfall • Monitor pest activity levels and adjust frequency accordingly
APPLICATION SCHEDULE
Initial Treatment: Heavy application (200g/m²) for existing pest infestations
Maintenance Protocol: Weekly application (100g/m²) for ongoing prevention
Seasonal Increase: Enhanced frequency during warm months when pest activity peaks
Post-Cleaning: Immediate reapplication after coop cleaning or disinfection procedures
Weather Response: Reapply after heavy rain, high humidity, or extreme weather events
STORAGE
Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight • Keep container tightly sealed • Optimal storage temperature 15-25°C • Use within 3 years of opening for maximum effectiveness • Protect from moisture absorption • Check batch date before application
CAUTION
Avoid inhaling dust particles during application • Wear appropriate dust mask when applying • Wash hands thoroughly after handling • Keep out of reach of children and pets • Close container immediately after use • For external coop environmental use only – not intended for direct food application • Do not apply directly to birds or feed • Ensure adequate ventilation during application • Store away from human food and beverages • Monitor birds for any adverse reactions during initial applications • Consult avian specialist if concerns arise • Natural product – effectiveness may vary with environmental conditions and pest pressure • Reapplication required for continued effectiveness
