Mites egg clumps

[Michaelamarie]

What’s the best way to remove mite egg clumps near chickens vent? She’s has several dirt baths and permethrin dustings but now I’ve noticed clumps (with a few mites crawling around them still) and I’m assuming they’re mite eggs.

Probably lice as lice lay visible eggs in clumps.

They’re mites not lice. I’m guessing its eggs it’s dirty clumps at the base of the feathers

It looks similar to this. How do I get it off?

You have to treat and then treat again in 7-10 days. I think even treat one more time after that. I think they fall off? But, I've not had that bad of infestation. If it were me, I'd try the elevator PSP at this point.

From the article above:
Nits are very hard to remove, although with care and a little warm soapy water, they can sometimes be broken off with the fingernails bit-by-bit. If there are a lots of nits, it is often easier to wait for them to hatch and kill the lice by using a powder approved for dusting on hens or by using drops of Ivermectin on the back of the neck under the guidance of a Vet which is detailed below under ‘Treating Lice’.

The reason for multiple treatments every 7-10 days is to let those eggs hatch, and then kill those new mites with the next treatment. Once all mites have been killed and eggs have hatched, the empty egg cases will fall off on their own.

I agree and as far as I'm concerned Permethrin works as well as Elector PSP. I have used both and the fact sheets for both suggest multiple applications for a severe infestation. In addition, Elector PSP is way more expensive. I used a fine toothed comb and combed the pests eggs out of the feathers on my birds. Good luck...
