thats what i need to do with mine kev, get rid of the dust/bloom etc.......i was going to buy one of those pump sprayers but think it would be better if i scrubbed it with a scrubbing brush and disinfectant (jeys fluid ?)

[quote="Rene A"]yeh will be maybe tomorrow or next weekend[/quot

whenever i feed them i sit watching them thinking of pairings rene, ive got most of them worked out in my head but still time to make final adjustments.........

yes david better to scrub down with bleach or jeyes any will do
don,t forget to wear a mask though . i was just thinking with all the dust and bloom
which collects on every thing is the ventilation wrong or is it the pigeons are in condition
what do you think ???

well kev you have a good point there, it crossed my mind the other day when i seperated and clean out........i couldnt beleive the amount of dust and bloom on the top of the nest boxes and in them, at first i thought there shouldnt be this amount of dust/bloom and already knowing my ventilation is vurtually none existant thought it was down to this......but would good ventilation take everything away ??? probably not, but i think it does help. also i use floor whitener and i think a lot of the dust is from this.

the front of my loft has that pollycarban (?) sheeting on it which is no good for the fressh aur getting into the loft......if i had my way it would all be dowelling on every section apart from the idowhood cocks, but as ive a cat problem i cant do it.

i know what you mean i have a tiled roof with vents in the front of the loft
and side with a big window in the front with dowells but is covered with a slowping frame like an open window
frame with mesh to stop the rain getting in but fresh air can get in under the frame also i have an avairy on
the front as well but still there is bloom on the walls .

dont think you can completely be without bloom in the loft unless you have some sort of extractor fan maybe powered by electris etc.............even then it might not get rid of it all, anyone any other ideas on the subject...?

For me it's all about ventilation getting the air fllow right but with bloom mif you had fans at the end of the season you would still need to clean out the fillter as that would get full of bloom dust

Bloom is a big problem and can cause so much hassel
