Help!! Mites :(

I also was reading that Seven dust helps with the coops also & 2 cups of water, 1 cup of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of Dawn dish soap?

Seven is no longer marketed for use on chickens. It still works but no longer considered safe to use on the birds. I'll stick with the permethrin. The bottle you have is very concentrated so very little is needed. This or Gordon's is what I use. TSC carries it.

Thank you guys so much. My husband showed me this that he uses on the yard in the summer time. He said you mix it with water would this be safe for them?

I wouldn't use that on the birds but would use it to spray the inside of the coops and let it dry before you let the birds go back in. For the birds either dust them or use the premixed spray. I put the dust in the nest boxes too.

Perfect I’m just trying to find some type of quick relief for her I feel so bad.. but she seems normal eating/drinking and doing her thing throughout the yard. I’ll get some on order from amazon I’ve called 2 different tractor supply and nothing. We have sprayed the coop and every inch of that thing today. It is safe to spray on the birds correct? Mixed with water..

I wouldn't spray it on the birds. The permethrin I buy is 10%, the permethrin you have is 36.8%. It's made to be used by professionals for things like termite control, lawns, buildings, parks, sports fields. I don't know how safe it would be on the birds. I personally wouldn't spray the birds with permethrin 36.8% SFR. I have used the permethrin 10 and sprayed it on the birds deluted but I feel more comfortable with the permethrin dust as well as putting the dust in the nest boxes. I have had severe mite infestations and the birds looked terrible and now they are beautiful again. Good luck...
