Important note... The zero day egg withdrawal when using permethrin on poultry is for the amounts labeled.

I see they do make a 5% cream.

Can you show a picture of the product?

Withdrawal - I think is no less than 2 weeks, and I think I saw a post from a vet that contacted FARAD, and that might have said 4 weeks, maybe even 6 weeks? I'll see if I can find that.

That's pretty cold. Not sure I'd wanna get birds wet in those temps. Have you tried permethrin powder or ivermectin?

How cold is it where you are?

5%? You sure that's not 0.5%?

If you are going to use Elector it's probably okay to use 2 teaspoons per gallon. That's a little more than 0.1% final concentration, but not much more.

1 ml of 44.2% Elector has 442 mg spinosad per ml. 1 ml of 0.5% garden concentrate has 5 mg per ml. Elector directions say 3 ounces per 10 gallons, yes? 3 ounces per 10 gallons = 88.7 ml 88.7 ml / 10 gallons = 8.87 ml per 1 gallon If something is 44.2% spinosad that means that one ml = 442 mg...

Do you agree that when using Elector the amount to use is 8.9 ml per gallon?

@wytecap , I had to go re-read the thread, and this post is where I posted indo that has the mixing instructions for Elector: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/egg-withdrawal-period-for-mite-treatment.1125649/#post-17494457 Let me thank you for taking the time to do the math and coming...

Elector (44.2% spinosad) is 3 ounces per 10 gallons, or ~8.9 ml per gallon. If you're going to use the 0.5% concentrate it's 757 ml concentrate to 3028 ml of water.

Not safe for all warm blooded animals me thinks... Probably a good idea to keep it away from cats? -Kathy

@Ol Grey Mare , where you been hiding? -Kathy

@Ballerina Bird , hope you know I wasn't doubting you, I just thought that maybe one of them would have more info to add. -Kathy

This one looks like its 0.5% This is closer to 44.2% -Kathy

@ronott1 and @ChickenCanoe , either of you know anything about spinosad and FDA approval? Just curious... -Kathy
