You need some permethrin spray, Alaskan... and more coops...

The permethrin only does body lice.


We did major toxicity last year when we first noticed we had the leg mites... we did do permethrin spray also since they had regular lice too But we did a deep clean... painted the perches with toxin... the entire nine yards.

Can't believe they came back.

Really? Wow... even Nustock?

 

[Alaskan]

Not sure what nustock is.

Beekissed swears by it for leg mite treatment... it's sulfur and pine tar... wear gloves, lol...

Ok... I googled... the thing I found said that with nustock you need to do it twice a week for three weeks...



Last time I used diesel... or something similar... can't remember any more... but that was to do twice about ten days apart... Of course, it didn't work....

Though it worked well enough...that at this point over a year later you can only barely tell that a few of them have it.....


I was thinking that this year I would try a few drops of the cattle pour on...whatever it is called.... several people say it works well, and it only needs two treatments.

Ivermectin Pour On... I use that for regular lice/mites... no idea if it works on scaly cuz haven't had those...

For the 2x8 though, you could paint it with pitch or tar maybe? Should seal in any left alive and they sure won't be able to come back out, lol...

 

[Alaskan]

Where do you get a big bucket of pitch?

Probably cant get it shipped up here.......

I will look in the local feed store, see what they have... but I was thinking of spraying permethrin in all cracks.... think that will work?

 

[Ravynscroft]

I'd think it would... mix it strong, soak it into the cracks good and let it air out for a while...

 

[Alaskan]

Yep... that is what I was thinking.
