Back on July 15th 2013 I did a post titled “Poultry House Flame Sanitizing – How Deep Will It Heat?” Featured in that article is a heat depth video showing the litter temperature on the floor of a commercial poultry house after flame sanitizing.
When I am at a poultry farm training growers on how to use their new poultry house sanitizer; Just about every time, almost invariably, I see a knee touch the litter and an index finger digging around in the litter and eyes intently looking for dead bugs.
Okay, there’s a lot of heat.
So what does it do?

It only makes sense that if you apply heat surpassing 1200 degrees Fahrenheit to the litter in a poultry house that the beetles will loose and the heat will win. (Photo left: poultry house litter cooling after the sanitizer has passed)
Here is a video of a couple of poultry farmers doing a litter check after they used their poultry house sanitizer.

“With flame sanitation there is a lot less time, effort and expense than there is with wind-rowing chemical treatments or replacing litter.”
It takes about an hour or so to flame sanitize an average sized poultry house.
In that time you can eliminate a whole bunch of darkling beetles while simultaneously flaring off ammonia, drying the litter and killing off the pathogens that might be killing your birds.
