Are these mites? Or lice

[at25]

Hi,

Started noticing cluster of these around the coop , mainly on doors/roof. Attaching a picture for reference.

So far chickens dont seem to be bothered by them but i want to get these off before it gets bad.

Are these mites/lice or some other type of pest?

What would be best course of action to treat entire coop?

Thank you

It's a possibility that they aren't poultry mites or lice. They could be a different type of insect that's only infesting the structure.

You could spray the area(s) with permetherin to get rid of them, but it probably isn't necessary to treat the birds/inside of coop unless they have bugs on them and/or you see an infestation inside the coop. Just my 2 cents.
