Mites

Hi just a quick question about bird mites I have cleared all my pens and nesting boxes and dermertash Earth and another dust for mites but it's still not working. What else can I use for the mites?

What kind of mites do you have? Are they on the birds, or come out at night to feed?

That is a Tick.

Are you seeing a lot of those in the coop or on the birds?

Diamatatious Earth will not be an effective treatment against an infestation of mites/lice, fleas/ticks, etc.

What is the dust you have?

You can purchase Permethrin poultry spray and use that to treat the coop/housing. Making sure to clean out the bedding, then spray everything day really well. Repeat in 5-7day intervals.
