Just be careful using permethrin around cats. It's deadly toxic to them.

You can spray the birds and coop and let it dry and it won't harm a cat. You just shouldn't soak a cat in it.

Personally, I would also change my clothes and shower after treating with it, if I had cats (which I do.) I've witnessed permethrin poisoning in cats and it isn't pretty. If you don't have cats, then it's no big deal.

I use elector psp its really expensive but requires one treatment for mites. I dip them rather than spray to cover them good.

Can't do that cuz my guard is my cat he actually haha with them in coupe cus foxes I live in northern Maine and one Farmer up Rd had had same flock for 4 yrs swears by diatomaceous earth.. Noon toxic to humans cats dogs and there's no sign of them they are gone just did a check on the part that I saw mites.. Dusted their cooking sits their coupe their roosts and in good everyone's faring well no signs of worms in poop anymore no more symptomatic occurrences but I'm still going to get preventatives like work medicine not just diy home remedies.. These kids are so important and I'm learning in Leaps and bounds but I sure do thank you folks for your knowledge in your input and I am taking everybody's information they've given me and putting it all together and getting preventives for the things that have worked just in case
