They have to be dusted with poultry dust or sevin dust. You can fill a sock with the powder and use it as a powder puff to dust each of your birds. I recommend doing this at roost time and you'll need a helper. The bedding should be replaced and the coop and roosting perches must be dusted as well. Place some sevin dust in their favorite dust bathing spots too. All this has to be repeated 10 days after so that all the new ones that hatched can also be killed. The dust kills the live adults but not the eggs.
