Permethrin spray

[BantyChooks]

Well, start with the birds and the roosts and area closest to roosts.
Are your temps below freezing all day long or just at night?

All day long. If there's a day of increased temps such as it gets above 0° in the daytime I'll treat then.
Edit: That's 0°C.

I've dusted them with powder and am waiting to get the spray.

I have yet to find a mite or louse on my birds! Since September! If it's all luck, that's fine with me too. Mary

Interesting.
Can you post pic or link to product used?

Have scrolled thru this whole thread twice now looking for exact product you got from TSC @Folly's place and could not find it.
Could you please post a link to or pic of product you used?

Just discovered we have lice again, of course on the day the temps are dropping back to 24/7 freezing.
Will probably use powder for now because of temps, but want to get liquid to have on hand when temps go back up.

I think it was Gordon's, but *any* 10% permethrin will work.

Since treating my rooster for lice with the spray I haven't seen any since, and I think it might be because of how long it stays effective.
