    Neverending mites

    yes, its kept under the kitchen sink, pretty cool and dark. Yeah, since the smoke, it's been awful. The only other thing i can think of is that perhaps the mites came with the straw that came for my sisters goats...we helped them evacuate the farm during the fire and had goats in the chicken...

    Neverending mites

    i appreciate you suggestion, but I lost two birds due to DE inhalation after dusting them when i first started having chickens. So, it's not used on our property anymore

    Neverending mites

    Yeah, that's how it usually is for us, which is why the bottle of elector psp has lasted for a couple of years - in fall we have a large amount of migrating birds pass through in a few week period and mites always show up no matter what...but this is much much worse.

    Neverending mites

    I have 13 birds. Normally we have to treat once in the fall when birds migrate. This year, since about march, we've treated with elector once a month, and starting in august we stepped it up to every two weeks. We use the higher concentration 12ml/gallon for the coop and structures...

    Neverending mites

    Note: I am struggling with respiratory problems due to a virus this spring - powders are going to be really hard to use. hello I have been fighting mites all summer and with the migration of wild birds in our area we suddenly have a ton of what I think are northern fowl mites everywhere. I'm...

    Mite problem using Elector PSP

    It would be roughly 12 ml per gallon which is a stronger solution than for northern foul mites.

    Can elector psp expire?

    Actually, the bottle doesn't have an expiration date. Since it's so expensive, i keep it in the house where it's temperature controlled - its vulnerable to freezing or super hot temps. And there have been a lot of birds around what with most people staying home. It's been nice, aside from...

    Can elector psp expire?

    How long does elector psp last? Mine is about 3 years old...could it have expired? I've been treating the coop and chickens every 2 weeks (x3) and it's been almost 2 weeks and found mites on one bird again! And birds don't want to go to bed. Suggestions for getting rid of the mites? I usually...
