I do generously put poultry dust in the nest boxes.

Sevin is no longer approved for use on poultry. With permethrin there is no egg withdrawal period so the eggs are safe to eat. If you are using permethrin once a week for 3 or 4 weeks completely treating your coop thoroughly, everywhere, every crack and crevice. I spray the walls , ceiling, on...

I also use poultry dust in the nest boxes. If wild birds get into the coops they can re-introduce them. Also there are some mites that hide in the cracks and crevices of the coops and only come out at night to feed on the birds so you have to thoroughly spray everywhere, every crack and crevice.
