Here is the latest addition, at least to the outside of the loft. I now have a settling cage/landing board that I can settle the youngsters in. These pictures were taken today and are the first time letting the 1st round taste a little freedom. They seemed to love it and no hawks to be found. In my book that is a successful first time out of the loft!

I am not sure what types of insects you are refering to. Here in the states we get the usual flies and mosquitos and control them in the normal manor. If you are refering to things like termites, as long as there is gap between the ground and the floor of the building, say 12 inches or so, managing them is simply a matter of looking for their tunnels going up the posts or concrete blocks supporting the loft and scraping them away.

I don't know what types of bugs you would find in India that might create a unique problem in that part of the world.

I have read that catmint will deter termites.
