If you don't want to burn the shed, hire a steam cleaner and gve it a good going over - gets in all the nooks and crevices.

[quote user="Mark Rowland"]Burn the wooden coops and replace with plastic ones. There is an F10 permethrin product for the environment with 0 egg withold. Diatomaceous earth is a good product for the environment. That should get you started hopefully. Goodluck

He has them in a 6X8 shed, with access to outdoors. I'm not sure he'd want to burn his shed, but I will pass the message on...

Do you have the tradename for that permethrin product, by any chance?

Thanks!
