And then put the vacuum cleaner back in the cupboard under the stairs in the house....Odd suggestion, but could you not just give it a really good vacuum? (Assuming it is empty) Or is that under thinking the issue?
Hi all, how do you sort out the nymph ticks in the chiller? It looks like the inside is heavily infested after a weekend cull. Is there any food safe chemical to use for or should i keep the door closed for a couple of weeks and set the temperature at 0 C degree?
How long it takes for them to die?

Peracetic acid diluted to 3% kills everything and is food safe.Hi all, how do you sort out the nymph ticks in the chiller? It looks like the inside is heavily infested after a weekend cull.

Or the resuasable hand plumbers torch, I use one for more uses than plumbing!Get a hair dryer or hot air paint stripper at them.
I doubt they would attract ticks, glue boards would stick them okWould insect pheromone tablets on glue boards work
Nice ! Interesting….what is peracetic acid normally used for ? Ie is there a commonly available branded product that can easily be bought for non licenced use , or is it something a bit top shelf ? In the south east of the uk Uk ( where I predominantly hunt) I never have such problems , but last year when in Germany I had a few rather laden deer. Thing is, in Germany most cleaning products in the shops don’t go much beyond the performance of organic diluted vinegar…..Peracetic acid diluted to 3% kills everything and is food safe.
Spray it over the inside and then shut the door and don’t go in for half an hour!
Then swill down and it will be super clean and smell a bit of vinegar.
It’s used as a commercial kitchen cleaner and for sterilising operating theatres, but farmers use it for killing bacteria in their barns after mucking out.Nice !

This is exactly the answer i’ve been after. Food safe, it kills ticks and doesn’t destroy stainless steel walls of the chiller.Peracetic acid diluted to 3% kills everything and is food safe.
