TINEY BUGS ON *MY* BANTY MOMS VENT!?!?!?!

[mahsmaj]

What could these be??? They are very tiny... and I tried washing them off with warm water but they were back the next day... they arent anywhere else on my little momma but the vent is where they all are... Does anyone know what these is and how to treat them???

found this:

Wash the area well, then coat thickly with Vaseline to smother the buggers -- for a minor infestation.

Use Permethrin dust - I think you have to clean everything and sprinkle it round all over?

Do you use DE regularly in coop and run?
