    How the heck do I get rid of fire ants inside the chicken run?? 😱😱😱

    You can also try poultry dust with permethrin. I have sprinkled it around the ants and I don't know if it killed them but they either died or left.

    How fast does permethrin work? Red mites

    I do the same thing but I use a backpack sprayer and do all of my coops. I do weekly applications and then quit for awhile so the pests won't become resistant to the Permethrin.

    How fast does permethrin work? Red mites

    Permethrin takes weekly applications for about a month. I had good luck with it and I have a dozen coops. I totally sprayed everything. I sprayed the coops first then cleaned them and for a month did weekly spraying. Here is a Permethrin mixture chart made by another BYC member.

    Can mites live off people/ infest their house??

    Many years ago, I had a severe mite infestation in my coops. I sprayed Permethrin once a week for a month. I cleaned the coops prior to treatments. No more mites and a bonus, no more flies.

    Can mites live off people/ infest their house??

    If you use Permethrin there is no egg withdrawal period. I would spray inside the coop every nook and cranny once a week for a month. It will kill them as they hatch out. Here is a mixture chart by another BYC member.

Since the old page still exists (https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/florida-always-sunny-side-up.64192/) many of the Florida members are listed. It wouldn't take a lot of effort to create a new...

    Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for it? I have one pretty much like it I'm thinking about selling that works great with an electronic thermostat. I've hatched hundreds of chicks with it.
