We've used 15 ml. per half gallon water, especially on the coop walls, and some on the birds. Total volume per bird, we aren't saturating every inch of each bird either.
Wear that N95 face mask, long sleeves and pants, gloves, and shower and wash everything when you are done.
No cats in the coop until after everthing is dry!

Thank you! I have my hens legs greased up nice, doing my second dose of Iver today and i want to get things sprayed when its dry out. She will come in while it dries. Yes, my cat is nosy!

You can make it stronger or really soak the coops to get enough on the roost.

I use bleach water every week anyway. Soak it down good including the run and give it a day to dry out. I think she has had these leg mites for a while. The vet just said she was old and that happens to the scales. They are raised bad on her toes, thick around the ankles. She limps, one leg swollen and has been that way for a while. So i was reading on this trusty site and saw scaly mite topic, looked, checked out pictures and thats it!!! First soaked her legs, gave them a good scrub under the scales with a toothbrush. It will take a while for the scales to fall off and grow back but just one treatment with Iver and some leg Vaseline and they already look better. Her feet look much more pink now. Now to spray everything down and keep at it.

I've seen several threads recently about leg mites, something I've never had here. Individually greasing all the birds in a larger flock seems like a miserable experience for everyone, especially repeatedly. Anyone use permethrin spray? Results? There's always Ivermectin, but if permethrin spray works, that would be great. Mary

I used Nu-Stock today. I'm gonna see how it works.

I also wanted to thank you for sharing this info! We used this on nearly 80 birds (both bantam and standards). It was very easy with the sprayer to get the liquid to skin level under the vent and of course the quick spritz to the back. Our birds weren't bothered by the process either! We also removed all bedding from coops, and sprayed in corners, floors, roosts and inside nest boxes. I put down fresh bedding and added a light spray to the top as well. We were targeting Northern Fowl Mites. All birds tolerated the permethrin without any issues including two 2 day old chicks under a broody hen that was treated and several juvenile bantams. From what I can find online, it appears that the 10% permethrin spray has a 30 day residual effect which is fantastic! Here is a label pic of the Bayer version of the concentrate (same active ingredient as the Gordon's brand that I got from TSC) that states a 30 day residual for the insects and mites indicated:

400

Sorry it's not the best pic so here is the link to the page that has a link to view the label also:

Did you put it on at %10?

Ugh...51 pages......
Permethrin 10 from TC .
So i read 10 ml per 1/2 gallon to spray on birds.
Is this the mix for spraying coops and yard as well or do we add a bit more?

My label is 0.5% mix for basically all sprayer applications. I use a higher concentration (I think it's 26.99%) so my mix would be different.
