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.

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?

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?

Yrs spray coop/run/birds.
Spray under wings, back of neck and around vent.
I usually spray 3 times a week apart, to kill e
Any eggs that hatched.

You can buy the premixed sprays or buy the concentrate and mix it with water. I also live in Florida. Permethrin is my go to product. There are others but much more expensive and this has worked the best for me. I have several coops so I use the concentrate and a backpack sprayer and when I treat one coop, I treat all of the coops. I thoroughly spray the inside of the coops, every crack and crevice. I have a nice long wand which helps to get to the hard to reach areas. When I have noticed any pests I spray weekly for 3 or 4 weeks because it does not kill the pests eggs but will as they hatch out. I use poultry dust in my nest boxes. There is no egg withdrawal period. Good luck...

I’m sure I have some. I’ll post pictures and explain possible signs. Then what is DE good for ?
