Has anyone tried Essentria for mites?

I found this stuff:

Sounds like it would be great stuff to douse the coop with to get rid of mites. Has anyone tried it? Is it safe for use around birds?

Aha. Apparently safe around chickens.

But at $60 a gallon, I might be dreaming.

I looked at it on Amazon. Of the few reviews, most say it is effective. However, I didn't see any reviews involving chickens.
Essentria IC3 Concentrate, 32oz Quart makes 8 gallons


Of the negative reviews (3 out of 9):

"The oils can stain surfaces and may irritate skin or eyes".
"As the directions note, the product has a strong peppermint smell. People and pets should avoid the treated space for a few hours after application. The oils can stain surfaces, and may irritate skin or eyes. (We had no trouble, but some people and animals are more sensitive to aromatic oils.)"
