Pesky Poultry Lice!

[casportpony]

One or our Faculty here bough some last year. I was hoping to get part of it from her...Oh well! I have used the generic from Amazon--captain jacks but I could not get a member to try it--said they did not trust a garden pest product and the inactive ingredients were not easy to find.

It did a great job as coop spray and spraying the hens. I did not use it as a systemic though

The problem with Captin Jack's is it's very diluted, 0.5% I think, so to use it the same way people use Elector, the dilution should be 757 ml of Captain Jack's and 3028 ml water. Undiluted I bet it works just fine though, lol.

Yes!

It is not as concentrated but works at the correct dilution

The problem is that some people buy it but don't mix it correctly.

That is a common problem!

Where do they get these lice? A few weeks ago mine didn't have it and now they do. A couple of feral guineas showed up on our property and I started letting them sleep in the coup with our guineas and that's when I saw the lice so I'm blaming them. although I didn't see any lice on the guineas (plus they don't even have feathers on their head). Also my chickens don't have any.
