Keeping Your Chickens Safe: Protecting Your Coop from Pests and Pathogens

by Demitric Boykin

For backyard chicken owners, maintaining a clean and healthy environment for your flock goes beyond regular cleaning—it’s about safeguarding the coop against unseen threats. Bacteria, viruses, and pests can quickly compromise the health of your chickens, especially in the period between cleanings. This is where preventative measures come into play, helping you create a healthier, safer coop without constant upkeep. With the right tools, you can ensure your beloved pets are not just surviving but thriving in a protected environment.

The Hidden Threats Lurking in Your Coop

Even the most meticulous cleaning routine can only do so much. As soon as cleaning is complete, new pathogens, bacteria, and pests begin to invade the space, leaving your chickens vulnerable. Bacterial infections such as Salmonella and Campylobacter are common threats in chicken coops, which can linger on surfaces long after the coop is cleaned. Additionally, coops often become hotspots for pests like mites or flies, which carry their own risks to the health of your flock.

To combat these ongoing threats, a more proactive approach is needed—one that goes beyond basic cleaning to offer continuous protection.

Barn & Coop Guard: Continuous Protection for Your Coop

Good Salt Pet’s Barn & Coop Guard is designed to provide just that—ongoing protection that works in the background long after you’ve cleaned the coop. This innovative product creates a protective barrier on coop surfaces, which continues fighting bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens between cleanings. No other product on the market offers this level of ongoing defense, making it an essential tool for any backyard chicken owner who prioritizes their flock’s health.

The secret behind Barn & Coop Guard lies in its advanced chemistry. After being applied, it bonds to the surfaces of your coop—whether wood, metal, plastic, or vinyl—and forms a microscopic killing field. This field contains tiny spikes that impale and kill bacteria and viruses on contact. The protection lasts for up to a month, ensuring that your coop remains a safe environment for your chickens without requiring constant attention.

Why Preventative Protection Matters

The preventative nature of Barn & Coop Guard is what sets it apart. Instead of reacting to issues as they arise, this product works to prevent them from occurring in the first place. This can reduce the risk of illness in your chickens and create a healthier living space overall. Given the rise in backyard chicken coops and the increased awareness around biosecurity, having an additional layer of protection is more important than ever.

Another advantage is the longevity of the product. Because Barn & Coop Guard only needs to be reapplied monthly, one bottle will last a long time, making it an economical choice for coop owners. This low-maintenance solution is perfect for busy homeowners who want to ensure the health of their chickens without having to constantly monitor and disinfect their coop.

The Bottom Line: Protect Your Chickens Between Cleanings

While cleaning your coop regularly is essential, protecting it between cleanings is just as important. Good Salt Pet’s Barn & Coop Guard offers an innovative, safe, and long-lasting solution to the challenges of maintaining a healthy coop. Its unique ability to bond to surfaces and create a microscopic killing field means that your chickens are continuously protected from harmful pathogens and pests.

For backyard chicken owners looking to take their coop care to the next level, Barn & Coop Guard is a must-have product. With the ability to safeguard your flock between cleanings, you can rest easy knowing that your chickens are living in a safe, healthy, and pathogen-free environment.
