Spinosad product in Europe?

[Maiahr]

Hi, I am looking for trade or store that sells Spinosad products in Europe. Anybody aware? Shipping from the USA too expensive. Thank you

Just because it is available over here in the US doesn't mean it's available in other countries. If you can't find any then probably not. What are you trying to treat?

@pibb my chicken cought lice/mites. Not sure which of both. I sprayed everything- the chicken and the coops with permethrin-based spray and then put DE on the chicken. This seemed to work so far, but I read somewhere that permethrin does not kill the lice/mites eggs and I need to repeat this procedure again after some time - I don't know when though. Also I have many hens with baby chicks which I have not sprayed as I am not sure if permethrin is safe for the baby chicks.

I dont think anything kills the eggs except for flames. You are doing right. Spray 10 days later to kill the eggs that hatch.

Thank you. In terms of repeating the spraying in order to kill any eggs that have hatched, I have read anywhere between 7 and 14 days.. also do you think ash instead of DE will work? We don't have DE here, I buy it online from the USA and it is quite expensive.

Although I've never used DE I don't think it works so save your money.
