Just wanted to add a couple of things sixshooter that may help.
I do use Ivermectin as well for feather mites but put a couple of drops under each wing at the shoulder joint. I have heard a mixture of windex and vinger is also effective but have only used this on the llamas to detract flys and mosquitos.
so would those peppers be different than cayenne pepper? DE i have to order online- unless someone decides to sell some at poops..hint!!
wonder if the windex and vinegar would work on dogs with fleas???
If people need DE I can bring some to POOPS with me. The feedstore I buy it from in Norman sells, 5lb, 10lb, 20lb (I think) and 50lbs bags. I usually by 10lb bags, for I believe $15 but I will need to get back to you on the price. The reason I only get a 10lb bag at a time is because of storage issues. If there are enough people interested I can buy a 50lb bag and we can split it up. Windex and vinegar will probably work temporarily but will have to applied daily to be effective. For flea and tick control adding brewer's yeast and a little garlic powder (only a little and it has to be the powdered form because heavy doses and fresh garlic can be toxic to dogs), is very helpful.
You can give garlic powder to chickens, as well but I have heard that it can be tasted in the eggs.
