EcoPest All-Natural Mite Spray

[HomesteadEggMama]

Has anyone else used the EcoPest mite spray on their chickens? I recently switched from the Premo poultry spray because EcoPest is less expensive and appears to be the same formula.

I'm assuming its from the same distributor and Premo just has a higher mark up.

No, haven't heard of it, but some of those types of products may work.

I do know permetherin/garden powder works fast and is relatively cheap too.

Permethrin powder, especially in cold weather, or permethrin spray concentrate, when it's not freezing out there, are both inexpensive and work very well. Spinosad is a much more expensive spray that also works well, and bot products are approved to use with no egg withdrawal.
Products labeled 'natural' may smell good, unless you have asthma and can't inhale such scents (as me how I know this!) and are so much less likely to work well. Also, what's 'natural' about soap? 'Natural' is a vastly overused description, with no actual legal definition, far as I know. It's funny, though, as in 'natural' meats. Are there 'artificial' meats used out there?!
