I never use dusts. Depending on the severity of infestation, you can spray the birds or dip them up to their necks in a Permectrin II or Ravap EC solution. Both can be used as a topical spray, a dip, or premise treatment. I would suggest cleaning out all litter and dust from the coop and nests. Spray Ravap or Permectrin II according to directions. After it dries, put in new shavings. Keeping the house cleaned out every three or four months prevents this problem. It is also a good idea to keep the brush to a minimum around the chicken yard.
