treatment for....

[the3ofus+oursixchicks]

what treatment do you use for mites> I don't see any but I am thinking of treating anyways just in case.

Sevin dust 5% is very good, and some like permethrin. Both come in dust and powder. Mites need treated every 7 days and lice every 10 days until gone. Of course the coop shavings and nest boxes have to be cleaned out. Permectrin II (permethrin) spray or Revap can be used to spray roosts and walls before clean shavings are put in.http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/08/poultry-lice-and-mites-identification.html
