You can use petroleum jelly and coat the legs and feet - that will smother them. Or you can use Ivomec (pour-on for cattle) - you use it like front-line. You could probably mix a small amount of sevin in with the petroleum jelly -
I think some people have also used Adams flea and tick spray.

With Ivomec you will need to throw away eggs for 10 days - and you can use the drops as mentioned or measure it out - .5 cc for large birds and .25 for small/bantam birds. Droped on the bare skin like front line for dogs.

I depends on what method you prefer ...

I've only dealt with NFM - not scaly leg - so can't offer what worked for me. maybe someone else will post with a method they used that worked well for them.

I used the Vaseline method and it worked really well. I didnt have to toss eggs then either...Terri O

Do I put the Ivomec on the back of there necks like for a dog?
