First time with mites...

[JoCin]

I posted a couple days ago with questions about one of my hens and since then have discovered it is mites. We are waiting for the Elector PSP to arrive tomorrow and will be cleaning the coop and hens alike. We are going to have an unseasonably warm day tomorrow here of 78-80 and breezy. The low that night is 56 and the high the next day is 65. We have Sweeter Heaters in the coop we will turn on over them. If those are the temperatures, I was going to dip the girls in a bucket to get them really good in the afternoon at the warmest part of the day. My question is will that be enough time for them to dry before bed? Thanks.

You can spray them with the PSP. You shouldn't need to dip them. If you spray, they will be fine!

Thank you! I know it is probably overkill to dip them, but since it is our first time and I feel awful for them I want to go in nuclear. I will spray them.
