I found Exzolt at this web-site1. I am using garden sulfur >>https://www.amazon.com/Bonide-PRODUCTS-142-Sulphur-Fungicide/dp/B0035H7V34/ref=sr_1_5_pp?crid=1II7HUTR2BVEZ&keywords=sulfur&qid=1696277214&sprefix=sukfur,aps,170&sr=8-5&th=1
I started with organic sulfur, but I had to find ways to cut back on the money.
2. I sprinkle it everywhere, other than nesting boxes.
I am using both Borax 20 Mule Brand and boric acid from Amazon. I sprinkle it in all bedding and in my enclosure. I don't use these in nesting boxes either.
3. Armed and Hammer laundry Booster and/or baking soda has seemed to really help too. I use it the same as both Borax/boric acid & the sulfur.
4. I am mixing my pine bedding half and half with cedar chips and using cedar chips in my enclosure spaces.
5. I have been alternating between Viper and Seven dusts in nesting boxes and I rub down the roosts every evening with it. I've also used petroleum jelly mixed with liquid permethrin and coated the underside of all my roosts. I actually need to clean them and do them again.
Yes the mites got into our dogs ears. My vet has been amazing thru this. She's an equine vet, so is not the typical dog/cat vet. She said she has seen bird mites infest many different animals, at least temporarily. Mostly their ears. My dogs are on Bravecto (Flurlaner product) which has made a huge difference, though they must be bathed weekly with IGR dog flea shampoo. Originally we had to Sulfur/Lime dip them weekly too. I had to get mite eggs off animals and off/out of EVERYTHING in my house
My birds have been on and off Exzolt (Fluralaner product) for 2.5 months now. I am now treating with the S76 protocol since my birds are in molt. I've bathed them in all things, I've dusted them, I've sprayed them, but in the end using a systemic treatment was the only thing that helped beat these f***ers back.

It's pricey, but with eighty birds and six coops, I need something that will work in water.
I hope this will help others with mite problems.
