Help! Blood suckers!

I know I should apply a treatment for mites, but what should I do about ticks?! My husband normally fogs for mosquitoes and ticks with a formula that says is safe to use in pultry houses. I have 6 week Khakis I just put out 3 days ago and chicks to be let out later in the weekend. The treatment says only to let dry and it's ok. Bifen IT is the name. I currently have a bite I'm going to the doctor for tomorrow and a neighbor showed some signs of Lyme. Only reason we are so cautious!

Chickens, and most especially guineas, will eat ticks. Get some guineas, if you can stand their noise. Meanwhile, it's the daily 'tick search' on everyone to get them as soon as possible. UGH! Mary
