hatching after lice/mite treatment?

[Cluckatar]

Is it okay to hatch eggs 10 days after treating for lice/mites with permethrin spray (Martin's Pen and Poultry)? I wasn't planning to do any hatches this month, but a customer is asking for hatching eggs and I'm not sure if these eggs are good for hatching or not. Thanks for any ideas!

10 days after is too soon in my opinion. Use your judgment on how much spray was used versus the viability of the eggs.

What time period is safe?

My suggestion is to contact the manufacturer and ask them. There is no withdrawal time for you to eat the eggs so I don't know why there would be a problem with hatching. But instead of taking the word of some stranger over the internet like me go to the source. You should have more confidence on them.
