Neither are *approved*. Yes they both work and since they’re not approved there isn’t a specified egg withdrawal.
Well the ones in my yard are the same ones in my coop. They occur naturally everywhere. They congregate within coops and their population explodes as coops are a perfect environment for them. Their food source (the chickens) cannot escape them unlike in the wild and there is a million hiding places for them.
Thank you for replying. We’re kind of new to the chicken game & I sincerely appreciate the feedback. I had read that DE wasn’t a good solution - especially in humid climates - and we do live where humidity is an issue in the summer months. I have located & purchased permethrin 10 concentrate to mix & spray in all the nooks & crannies. Would you clarify pls - is there a permethrin dust to use on the hens; or is the sevin dust the correct product to use on the individual hens? Can I spray the hens with the permethrin mixture? I think you said you did. I have noted that I will need to repeat the spraying for 3-4 weeks. Do I dust the hens every week for the same amount of time? The permethrin pre-mix is not available at Tractor Supply in my area. I called multiple locations & they’ve had nothing on their shelves for 2-3 weeks. Not sure if it’s related to Covid - we are a hotspot - so it may be a chemical shortage, production, or transport issue. Thank you for sending product photos. That is very helpful. I’m looking forward to full-feathered, fluffy, beautiful hens
Red mites, northern fowl mites and scaly leg mites are the mites that affect chickens. There’s a lot of different kinds of mites while most are harmless to chickens.
Yes I am aware. We have red mites. All over the yard.
Are you sure you’re not talking about clover mites?
