Just found mites for the first time ever last week & treated EVERYONE with drops of ivermectin plus on their skin.
3 days later - still had mites.
So I treated everyone with fipronil (generic Frontline) - mites were gone overnight.
Coop got all new bedding after being sprayed down with Permectrin (10% permethrin). I also sprayed the run & coop ouside since the label says it'll kill flies.
I used only Poultry dust in the nest boxes - seemed safer.
If I see another mite, I'm going to try Neem Oil extract next.
Anyone ever use either product (Permectrin or Neem Oil)? Care to share your experience?
I love fipronil for chicken mites & chicken lice.
I have not tried it specifically for scaly leg mites or feather lice.
I think the birds picked the mites up from all the free-ranging in the backyard, especially under a spruce tree. The wild birds are always in there.
