Are Nestera chicken coops red mite-proof?Updated 2 months ago

No chicken coop can ever be 100% red mite-proof, but Nestera coops are designed to make life as difficult as possible for them. Red mites are tiny pests that thrive in cracks and joints of poultry housing. Unlike traditional wooden coops, ours are built from solid, 70% recycled plastic with a smooth, clever design that leaves very few hiding spots.

For extra protection, we suggest sprinkling Diatom powder around the coop when changing bedding. This helps tackle any mites before they can spread. And if red mites do appear, cleaning is quick and simple — our coops can be easily washed down, making removal stress-free.
