Clearing Red Poultry Mite

Date sort Score sort
Thanks again for all your help. I've tried the Red Stop now for the initial ten days, but I still have the same few red mites hiding under the roosting bar (living on top of the diatomaceous earth 1). (I've crushed them every day).

I thought it would be a neat solution, and have made sure no other water source was available, so do I write it off as a failure, or keep going for extra days?

While I've pretty much written off the diatomaceous earth, someone suggested I should be using it as a paste, rather than dry.

I think I'll have to move onto Permethrin. Any thoughts before I do?

Many thanks!

Did a quick google, but didn't find the percentage of permethrin or any other ingredients.
Do you have a label that gives full info?

Found this interesting, makes me wonder about other ingredients:
"Johnson's Anti-Mite Extra is not to
be used on pigeons intended for human consumption. "

Can't find any images of the label, or contents. You've found a useful source - if you can't eat the pigeons, not sure you could eat the hens' eggs. Humm.

Any experience of KG Bird Spray - another natural one, so not sure it would work - but has great claims? Or a UK brand with permethrin?
