My Chickens have mites: Is the SEVEN 5% the vegetable seven or does it say POULTRY?

[GretaGarboFirst]

Please help....my chickens need to be treated for lice or mites.....does SEVEN specify for poultry? Any better product?

It is the vegetable one- 5%- not approved for poultry anymore but worked great.

Poultry dust (permethrin) available at feed stores.

Mites require retreatment at 7 days, lice at 14 days. Toss all bedding and nesting materials so they don't have a reservoir to hide. Treat your coop as well.

I use an old sock, powder puff them under wings, vent area, and everywhere but the face. Take shower, wear mask, long sleeves, gloves.
