Mite infestation in coop?

[colette peters]

They may be dead but there are probably plenty of mite eggs ready to hatch. Spray weekly for awhile and you'll get rid of them.

Will do. Once a week for three weeks?
So two more times? That took me 4 hours to do and I’m exhausted and felt like I had mites crawling all up my hands, arms and legs. This is worse than a kid having lice.

I hate mites. They're just the worst.

Literally the worst!

I spray a dozen coops weekly, especially now this time of year.

It’s been about 2 hours since I sprayed the solution.
I can’t believe my coop was this infested What are your thoughts? It’s this a bad sight? Are they dead??

Heck yeah that's bad.
Are you seeing them moving!

If I were you I'd spray daily for a week the again every 7 days for a month.

Ok maybe when they go out in the am I’ll just spray around inside and out. Can I keep the solution I used from today have about a gallon left
