The attack of a marten on the hens makes wrinkles for many a farmer who has already tried various remedies against martens. Try to be smart this time and install a marten odour repellent in your poultry house, which will provide reliable protection against martens and weasels. The odour fence works on the principle of imitating the smell of the predator and thus reliably discourages martens from rampaging in the hen house. Thanks to the non-toxic composition of the odour fence, you do not have to worry about the health of your poultry or the marten itself.
Martens are clever and agile, which makes it easy for them to penetrate a chicken run, quail coop, turkey coop, duck coop and goose coop. Poultry are easy food for them, especially at night when they are sleeping. Due to their agility, martens can enter a poultry house through many routes, including holes in the plaster or ventilation of the coop. Poor quality or leaky coop flooring, leaky coop opening and closing or poorly sealed coop construction can also be easy access routes. Proper coop placement can also be key.
Therefore, before applying the chemical marten repellent , block all openings through which a marten could enter the hen house and run. Also take care with the fencing of the hen house and holes through which a marten can crawl. Then, place BIO10-S carriers injected with the odour concentrate of the marten scent fence near the hen house and poultry run. Also place the activated carriers on the likely path of the marten. Check the marten scent fence regularly and revive it every ten days if a marten returns to the hen house or outdoor run.
