Poultry Houses are subject to a pest that can be very “pesty”.
It is called the Darkling Beetle. Untreated there could easily be 2 million darkling beetles in one broiler house. That is the beginning of the problem. This pest can cause a huge problem for the Farmer’s by “stealing” thier food supply. And then you also have the chicks that will gladly eat a beetle, which then interferes with the health and feed cycle of the chick. One chick can eat up to 400 of these beetles a day, which can cause intestional problems like impaction. Here is a diagram that will explain the life cycle of the darkling beetle.
In addition to the impact the darkling beetle can have on a Poultry house, they can cause extreme damage to the wood and insulation. If you have a Poultry House, don’t feel helpless because of this problem. Call us! We can help!
