Frontline as in spot on that you can get for kittens and cats and such? x

Malathion can be found in nit lotion can't it? x

I should have also mentioned that you can use Moxidectin or Ivermectin to kill mites as well. But whatever topical treatment you choose, you must address the environmental problem as well - it is just as important, if not more so.

Yes the Frontline spot-on.

Thankyou so much for that information Trico that was very helpful to know x

You're welcome, I hope your chooks give you as much pleasure as I get from mine!

Oh dear Is it redmite you have?
I had them in a wooden coop a few years back and it was such a pain to get rid of, think they were gone and then suddenly loads would appear. After months I gave up and bought a plastic shed, I used wooden perches and found redmite under them this year though, but since changing to plastic pipe we are redmite free.
I also mix DE with a little water to make a thick paste to "paint" all the nooks and perch ends.

Other than that I agree with everything Tricoglossus has said

I've also used frontline for cats when I had some ex-battery hens arrive in the worst state and covered in lice, it worked so well and within 2 days the lice were gone!
