What is this??

Just a quick note about permethrin spray, while it is a great option - it is very toxic to cats! Just keep that in mind when using it.

Yep, already know that. I use it sparingly since I have a cat and my neighbors do as well. Supposedly it is safe when it is dry.

No cats, no worries! But thanks for the info!

Red-Kote? Never saw it before, for the coop or the legs?

I will hopefully have my Nu-Stock next week, Vaseline until then!

I used The Chicken Chick's option 4 found here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-is-this.1355673/ I was a bit leery of using gasoline for fear of going up in flames but all went well and really easy. I used it for a Silkie with a severe case of those nasty bugs.

Being lazy, I also didn't clean the coop etc figuring I'd do it if any of the others got mites. They didn't.

The link went right back to this thread. But you used regular gasoline?

Was this for direct application to their legs?
