Hi grumpyhog123
You really need to clean the hog houses with boiling water so that any parasite eggs which might be in any cracks in the construction, are killed. Otherwise new parasites (ticks/fleas) could keep hatching. Ticks are quite pale when they’re young. I’m not familiar with the substance you mention but it’s best not to use chemicals around hedgehogs – them not being harmful to humans doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t harmful to hedgehogs.
I would try the boiling water and see if that helps.
