Please help me get rid of gapeworm for good!!!

[URGrace1961]

I have been struggling with the gapeworm issue for going on two months now. I have tried Valbazen and a bit of Ivermectin I have gone threpugh 80 lbs of Lime and 100 lbs of diatomaceous earth on the ground to eradicate them to no avail. Bought a small tiller now to try turning up the ground. I wonder if spraying I Erne tin in the ground would do the truck. I could move the chicks in each pen and spray the Ivermectin and then in a couple days move them back in. I am just at a loss as well.

Diotomaeceous Earth won't kill any and is more likely to compound your birds respiratory issues.
How have you confirmed the gapeworm?

Welcome to BYC.
The only way you can tell if your birds have gapeworms is having a fresh fecal sample looked at under a microscope by a vet. It shouldnt cost much.
