Hi there! My piggies live in an outdoor hutch most of the year, and with the outdoors comes insects. When I first bought my guinea pigs, the breeder gave me a bug spray for the hutch to keep the nasties out. Recently I have run out of this spray (I have to give the hutch a spray down every few months), but have failed to find a new one. I can’t find a similar bottle anywhere and don’t want to buy something that might harm my pigs. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what brands sell good ones? Thanks! :)
 
There is no need to use such sprays. Keep up with daily hutch maintenance of removing poops and wet hay and bedding - even go to twice daily during summer - and make sure to check piggy bottoms once or twice a day.

I have never used any bug sprays in over three decades of outdoor small animal keeping.
What I do use is F10 which is a vet grade disinfectant for routine deep cleans.
