Curious what exactly these are....got links or the ingredients or pics of labels?
I follow this routine:
1. Clean the house, nesting boxes and droppings board with NETTEX Poultry cleaner.
2. Wipe/soak all the surfaces, especially nooks and crannies, with the NETTEX Mite Kill spray, which contains Permethrin. This must be left to dry completely and birds should be kept out for a minimum of two hours.
3. Dust all the surfaces, nooks, crannies and nesting boxes liberally with Barrier Mite powder for protection.
4. I spray my hens with my homemade garlic juice, lavender oil and water spray to kill existing mites. I have found this really works well. I repeat this spray after 2-3 days. I also then clean the vent area, using a very fine comb to remove any lice/mite eggs attached to the shafts around the vent.
5. Dust the hens with the Barrier Mite powder to stop re-infestation.
I'd repeat this process after about 2 weeks.
