"Tobacco stems, the chickens love them." — Simone L., verified review
Why choose Tobacco Stems?
- Natural scent repellent — the strong nicotine scent prevents red mites, feather mites, and other mites
- Versatile use — mix with bedding or place in the nesting box
- Suitable for multiple animal species — chickens, pigeons, pheasants, and other birds
- Easy to replace — with every cleaning for continuous effectiveness
What to do in case of an active red mite infestation?
Tobacco stems work preventively: they keep pests away through their scent. In case of an existing infestation, they are not a substitute for targeted control. Combine then with thorough cleaning and an approved pest control product.
Please note: tobacco stems naturally contain nicotine. Avoid inhaling dust when scattering, keep out of reach of children, and use it exclusively in the coop—not for consumption.
Who is this suitable for?
Suitable for chickens, pigeons, pheasants, and other poultry.
Usage & Dosage
- In the chicken coop: mix with the bedding, scatter extra in corners and along walls
- In the nesting boxes: place a handful of tobacco stems in each nesting box
- Replace: every 2-3 weeks, or with every cleaning of the coop
Additional advice from our chicken experts
For extra prevention, combine with Nesting Herbs from Koudijs in the nesting box, and with Multi Herbal Drinkmix for internal support.

How often should I replace the Tobacco Stems?
Every 2-3 weeks, or with every cleaning of the coop, for continuous effectiveness.
