what should i use in the coop to treat lice and mites

[blueseal]

well i treated all my birds and the nestbox is crawling with redmites. all over my white leghorns who are roosting on the wood nestbox. i treated them and sprayed the box but probably not good enough.

Sevin dust, you can buy it at any garden center and we've used it on our livestock for years for mites, lice, ticks and ked infestations. We used to run our horses through a big Sevin solution bath when I lived in central america so I know it is safe.
