Have you used Poultry Protector for pests?

[Princessferf]

I've been reading about a product called Poultry Protector that can be used on birds or in their coops to control/remove pests. Has anyone tried this product before? If so, is it effective?

This seems like a less-toxic alternative.

The elimination of parasites and insects will help to also decrease mortality rates in young birds.

The ammonia control aspect is pretty interesting. I just used the spray on my birds who have mites and it killed them on contact. Amazing, no need for a respirator, no poison in the eggs.
