Does winter help?I'm happy to report after 3 very long months for my chooks, my dogs, myself, my house, my property and my coop/barn all are finally improving. It has been unbelievable, literally. I'm SO glad you are getting a handle on it. I actually am bringing some parasite sample to an entomology lab next week, These things are veracious!
I hit my coop and barn hard with dawn soap/agricultural vinegar mixed with essential oils the last three weeks. It really helped. Of course the birds are 100 times better, the Fluralaner and bathing has saved my animals. So I think it's all improving simultaneously, since the mites want to be on the birds. Using sulfur & boric acid in bedding, which is also helping.
Still fighting them in our garage and garage attic with the help from some exterminators.
Come on winter!!!
