My girls are showing the signs of having mites. (Biting wings, feathers falling out around base of tail and vent.) I want to nip it before it gets out of hand. I plan on spraying and dusting the coop and run with sevin. How should I directly treat the girls? Thanks.

The northern fowl mite is showing resistance to the active ingredient in Sevin (carbaryl), so probably better to get permethrin dust or spray.

Get the Gordon's spray and mix 5 ml (one teaspoon) with one quart of water (20 ml per gallon). Spray birds and coop.

Okay! So I'm on my way to get the permethrin. I take 5 ml of it and mix it into 1 quart of water and spray my girls? Do the same with the coop/run?
