Help with Lice .. Canada

[Crazy_Beautiful]

I'm pretty sure my new roo came with lice .. ugh! I did dust him with DE the day I got him.. and again 10 days later. And I spray my coop every 30 days with a Doktor Doom Insectside ... the green bottle in the picture.

I don't have many options in Canada ... I've attached photos of what I can get. Any suggestions?

The pyrethrin powder if it's for poultry is what I would use. DE will do nothing and is a respiratory irritant. You will need to dust weekly for 3-4 weeks to break the life cycle.

Most birds will control external parasites through dust baths, so make sure to provide access to an area so he can dust himself.

Wood ash works great. I sprinkle some generously into the run and it helps because mites/lice hate the smell and it slightly suffocated them since mites are so small

Spraying the coop down with vinegar will kill lice & mites .I use sulfur powder to dust the chickens .
