anyone use revolution on their ducks?

[Billy-jean]

I have heard of people using revolution or advantage on their poultry and ducks for prevention/treatment of mites and lice..anyone do this before? Curious,,thanks

I use it on the cats, don't think it's for ducks. My ducks haven't had a problem with them in 2.5 years. Hope we can keep up the record!

There are other products for waterfowl, but as I wrote, I have not needed to get any.

I use DE on them either way,,hoping this stands true to it's good name! One of my ducks are moulting and look terrible!! really ratty and raggy looking ( poor girl,,but if she had something,the rest would to right??

I wouldnt reccomend that stuff. Ducks very rarely get lice or mites But if they do 5% sevin dust can be applied on them or if you feel more comfortable just sprinkle it all in their pen. I have found this to be the most safe and effective for most bird bug problems of any kind and you can get it most any where.

Molting can look pretty scruffy, and if you are concerned you can generally see (some of us need our eyeglasses) if there is a parasite problem.

ok..thank you ) I will continue using the DE I have,it does pretty much the same as sevin dust... prefer the natural approach rather than the pesticides

How do you use DE on cats? Does anybody know? I know the chickens will just dust bathe it on themselves... but cats aren't so accommodating!
