Mites! Yuck!

[realsis]

it took meet forever to finally rid mine of mites!!! They came infested. like yours. what I finally had to use. is controversial but worked well without any issues. I used one part iveimectin to three parts water and painted with a all brush the back, under each wing,around the bottom. before iveimectin I had tried all the powders they didn't work for me. I hope you have better luck than I did with them.mine were northern foul mites.best wishes

I finally went to the Ivermectin diluted to the recommended dose.
That worked better than any other treatment I had used. I lost a girl
to those things. They sucked the blood right out of her. AND I thought I
was on top of it.
Finally, we moved the coop, took down all of the 40 feet of bushes where the sparrows
lived, bought a live trap for the sparrows, caught them and released way
far away AND NOW THE GIRLS ARE MITE FREE.

Is it a liquid? I believe I saw that at Tractor Supply. It's over an hour and a half away so I won't be able to get there until next week probably, but I will go pick some up. How much do you dilute it?

Thanks so much!

Which are you asking about? Poultry Protector is a liquid and you spray it directly on to the bird. Get the wing pits and around the vent. I also try to get it at the base of the tail since they put their face near it a lot to get some to cover their face. Ivermectin is also a liquid. You would really want to dilute it if you're giving it orally.

I meant the Ivermectin, but she said the dose right in her post. Oops. lol

I wanted to look into both next time I'm at Tractor Supply.

This Atroban is the stuff that got rid of them.
I also had the Ivermectin it didn't work for me
the girls still had them.
They were very infested.
For a couple of years I was continually giving
the baths to soak off the scabbing and getting rid of the mites.

I thought Ivermectin is for worms not external parasites.

I will look into that. Thanks so much! I think I'll also get the Poultry Protector because I can use that inside the coops.
