Eliminating Lice (or Mites) on Chickens Using Permethrin

Has some useful information, and is helpful for those also dealing with mites. Easy to read, and concise.
Pictures of you dusting the bird would be useful, though. Also, the sentence structure and punctuation/grammar is a little confusing in some places.

Good article that goes over the basics of one thing you can do if you happen to find lice or mites on your chickens. certain sentences sounded a little jumbled, and there could be a bit more info, but overall good article!

The article gives very limited information on how to address an infestation with lice or mites. Many alternatives for permethrin are not mentioned. There has been extensive research by experts into remedies against lice and mites. *

Permethrin is forbidden to use on poultry in the Netherlands , Belgium and some other countries in the European Union. For 2 reasons:

1. residues get in the eggs and meat.
2. it often doesn’t work anymore bc some red mites strains got resistant.

Besides that it’s a pesticide that kills randomly and is also poisonous (attacks the nerve system) for bees and insects, and indirectly for mice, songbirds and other animals like cats.

In my country poultry keepers often use heat (+ 45C) , oil baths at the end of the roosts, diatomaceous earth (food grade) and herbs in the water/food to control red mites (the main problem).

As a poison/chemical only Elector with the active ingredient Spinosad is available in shops for poultry keepers. Permetrin is available too for songbirds and other animals, but not allowed to sell for chickens.
Other poisons/chemical products can only be obtained through the vet. There are 2 products available: Byemite (active ingredient is Foxim, waiting time eggs 12 hours) and Exzolt (contains Fluralaner, waiting time eggs 0 days).

An informative article about how to treat for lice and mites.

Informative article. Watch your grammar and sentence structure.

Nice, detailed article on treating mites in your flock.

Good article for treating lice on the flock!

This is very informative to anyone thinking or knowing they have a mite or lice issue. Good job!

One critique, though, is grammar. There are a couple of paragraphs with the sentences all mushed together.

Also, if you can get a picture of yourself dusting a chicken, or spraying your coop, that would add to your article too!

And lastly, if you can get links to other articles on the product or the process, that helps readers who may want to learn more. It's good as is, though; just mentioning it's helpful when you can.
