Best Mite/Lice/Fly/Deworming Products TSC

[Robind15]

Anyone have any good recommendations from TSC or at home remedies? I currently give my chickens Dawn soap baths IF I feel a Mite/Lice situation happening. I spray scrub and wash the coop the feeders and waters with diluted Dawn soap. I mix Diatomaceous Earth with play sand in a tire for their dust baths. I put Strike 3 in their feed to deworm.

Spray this too all over the coop area?

Yes, you can.
Are you actually dealing with lice or mites?
Are you aware that DE will not rid a lice or mite infestation?

Permethrin spray and dust is by far the best.

Permethrin spray and dust is by far the best.

So I spray this directly on the chickens and coop? I have vinyl flooring in my coop so I don’t use pine shavings. Could I dust the run?

I had some birds that I thought were molting but weren't getting their feathers back in. Upon closer inspection I noticed they had mites. Some actually appeared to have lice too. I used some DE because some swear by it. After treating my birds and coops with the DE for a couple of weeks plus, I saw no improvement, in fact they were getting worse. That's when I purchased the premixed permethrin spray and a bottle of the permethrin 10 concentrate. I sprayed my coops thoroughly inside and the birds for about a month every week. I put poultry dust in the nest boxes. The birds started improving. I'm sure if I hadn't treated the birds when I did I may have lost some. Also there is no egg withdrawal period as there is with other products. Again, good luck...

Strike 3 used to be a good wormer. However, the actual "dewormer"
in strike 3, Hygromycin B, was pulled from store shelves due to FDA regulations regarding antibiotics. Hygromycin B is an antibiotic.
Strike 3 is currently not a wormer. I recommend Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer or Safeguard liquid goat wormer to worm your birds.
