Hello all! This year is seeing a explosion of chicken mites. Had some broody hens and I think that intensified the issue. I've begun dusting with DE and will hit everything again in 7 days to get any new hatching mites.
Here's my bigger issue though. They get on me when I harvest eggs. They're eating me alive as I write this. I read that they don't live on people for long, but these past few days have been hell. I've showed often and have washed and vacuumed everything in sight. Any tips!? I have so many bites in my armpits and inner thighs! Can't sleep a wink!
Help!
Yours
James
