    Permethrin spray

    I appreciate, it hadn't rained for awhile but rain is "normal" for us here, never had a issue in the past but perhaps the heat/humidity we've suffered this Summer with the sudden rain is causing "growth" :barnie Any idea or help with solution is always greatly appreciated!

    Permethrin spray

    Permethrin spray

    Ok you all convinced me.....I dust (DE) my girls (5 Wynadottes) monthly as a preventative; vent area & under wings. They're ok but it's a mess. Someone told me about using Adams Flea & Tick Spray (?) as a preventative and have read some thread on BYC about using it. Then I happen on this...
