Omg, I'm having a very hard time finding product in stock!
Plus, heavy rains are coming the next few days. Have you ever had to treat in humid, or even wet, conditions?
I've found a 0.25% permethrin Garden & Poultry dust (only 2 left at TSC; hopefully, I can get one before they're gone tomorrow).
The quickest I can get Permethrin 10 liquid for the premises is Martin's on Sunday; hopefully no holdup with shipping. I had hoped to treat by Friday.
So hopefully Sunday will be the day. Rain chances plummet Sunday (per latest forecast anyway) to 20%, but it will be very humid from the days prior, and I'm concerned about how long after spraying the coop it will take for the product to dry enough for them to go inside.
Hopefully it doesn't rain and is not too wet to have them outside the run in their outer yard while I treat the premises, so I can treat each with powder and bring them back into the structure one by one. Otherwise, it will be very tricky treating the roost with them in the run. I live in a hot area so there's a lot of open wall between the roost and run.
The one hen with lots of egg clusters (most of which I softened and cut off last night) is also crawling with lice! It's horrible! I checked the other hens she's roosting with, and no one else has visible crawling lice, but they will soon! And one of them has some smaller egg clusters. I feel so bad for them!
