I have at least 3 or 4 Hogs that visit every night. I have a wooden Hog House and an Igloo type both in the veg garden. I also have 2 large feeding stations near the house which I also put some ‘shop bought’ Meadow Hay down one end and often a Hog will sleep the day in that. I have started to get an infestation in the feeding boxes of tiny dots of a gold/beige insect (even too small to see under eyeglass) and I mean infestation !!! I have cleaned them out completely with hot soapy water (obviously throwing away all the contents) and I am sure these insects are off the Hay and NOT the Hedgehogs.. (Happy to be corrected). Anything I can use to treat the hay.. I have been thinking of dusting with diatomaceous earth (food grade). Hoping that this will not impact on the Hogs, shouldn’t do as I take this product myself.. Any ideas ??
