how often can I use Eprinex?

[Kuntry Klucker]

Hi All,

I had a bad breakout of mites earlier this spring, in response to some advice I got here I purchased some
Eprises pour on, it worked like a charm! I was wondering how often I can use that?

I thought about putting more on them this fall before the cold weather sets in to hopefully protect them
more from the mites this winter.

What are the recommendations on that? I am not sure if Eprinex is something that you only use once a year.

Thanks

I'm curious to read your responses. I'm considering using this on my keeper roosters this fall. We struggle with mites, but I'm a little leery of using it on my egg layers since I sell eggs. The roosters seem to get them the worst, anyway.

I have the same problem. I am glad that this thread may be useful to other as well. I hope that someone with some knowledge on the issue chimes in soon. I used it last spring and the mites were gone, I just don't know if its a one year administration of it I can use it more. I don't want another mite issues again like I had this spring.

I'm sure he does. Here is a thread born out of my frustrations with our mite drama that has some info on Eprinex and people who use it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/945843/lessons-learned-in-my-battle-with-mites

Have you noticed mites on them again or does it still seem to be working?
