thank you! I currently have a fairly light problem with northern fowl mites, I fortunately caught it fairly quickly. I cleaned the coop thoroughly on Saturday by washing the walls, nesting boxes and roosts with warm soapy water, and I really just wanted to be rid of the buggers so I dusted my birds with dominion dusting powder, a 5% carbaryl powder available here in canada. But.....I came in from the coop this morning and had a mite on me! The dominion powder says to use only once every 4 weeks, so I'm at a loss as to what to do as obviously I had killed the adults, but the eggs have hatched and now I'm not sure what to use to kill the next generation that is hatching. Could I use another type of chemical so soon? Any ideas? I was also considering using wood ash since we have a wood burning fire place, but I'm not the type to handle my birds very much, they don't seem to like it, so I leave them alone for the most part, and I'm assuming to do a more natural method that I'd have to dust them every few days. I don't want to use DE either as so many report that it doesn't work. I'm really at a loss
Update* I just called dominion's 1-800 line and they told me this stuff is now discontinued and as of march 2018 it will not be available in canada at all.
