Can Sevin liquid be sprayed on my birds?

I'm confused; he wanted you to mix the liquid in a sprayer? With water so it's diluted?

I'm sorry. I have the concentrate so I would have to dilute it.

Try ROTENONE dust. It's made by Bonide, and safe to use on animals. It's also great on your veggies!
Also , Sevin has been "replaced" by EIGHT. Either of these should work fine, I'd rather dust a bird than spray one, yes?

Cant you just use DE and be safe?

I'm not sure DE is as effective as Sevin. It turns out I don't have a mite problem,but rather my girls are just starting to moult. I caught and dusted them all with DE the other night as that was all I had on hand. No bugs to be seen. But I do have lots of wild birds out by my coop and want to be proactive.
So I guess another question to ask is

Is De as effective on mites and lice as Sevin is?
