Good night everyone, sweet dreams,stay warm and safe.
 
you ever hear of treating mites oral ?
Injectable Ivermectin can be given orally.

Permectrin is topical only, never oral

Jane, she's very pretty. Love the color, like mahogany.

the northen fowl mites wont get gone unless I treat the coop ?
Since you keep getting mites back, you better do all you can. The permectrin sprayed on the coop will work for months. You don't have to spray every surface, but think of making perimeters... anywhere the chickens might touch, roost, or rub up against the coop, mites can get on them. The mites will die just from walking across wherever you have sprayed. It's a lovely sight.:mad:

Fipronil is the chemical in Frontline to get rid of fleas on dogs and cats. You squeeze it onto the skin at the back of their neck (so they can't lick it). I have used this on chickens to get rid of mites. It works very well, but I discarded eggs for a month. Not a big deal since it was on the Seramas. I think Ivermectin is safer.

10% concentrated insectrinX
This cannot go on the chickens, only in the coop EDIT(I think I looked up something different than what you got. There should be a fold out instruction label taped to the bottle. It will have the dilutions there. Kiki found the dilutions)

It is VERY toxic to fish and bees, so be careful.
You don't want to use the hose to apply (too wet), the pump sprayer would be perfect. You are supposed to let it dry completely before the chickens are allowed in.
Shake it really good before measuring it out.
It will kill any bugs in your coop.

Make sure it is the right stuff. The label I found said not to spray it on the animals. I might have got the wrong one.
It says right on the label to spray at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 birds with a fine mist.

Im a little nervous about the bridge. I dont know if its even open. That road getting to it might be flooded . The steps I had back there was how I fell and broke my hip
You broke your hip? :( How long ago was that?
