Oh no..... i've discovered redmite in my hen house, ive sprayed with chicken shield but some were still there this morning! I've dusted the chickens with redmite powder too....help!!!!!!

[shetlandpaul]

cresote and rehouse them until the pong goes off. steaming works well

  creosote is brilliant but if you need a quicker solution bowden & knights sell allthings livestock and they sell a brilliant mite treatment 1 dose and its all gone their phone number is 01953 681830 they will post it to you usually next day delivery.

I feel for you - we had a big Red Mite problem this summer.  We steam cleaned and then used Poultry Shield every couple of days and they've all gone.  I also put Diatom in nest boxes and dust baths.  Good Luck

creasote is good but its got to be from a farm supplier in a 25ltr  drum... anything else from diy stores is a substitute and useless.... instant results now.. burn the buggers with a blowtorch, slightly singe all the wood. instant results, make sure you do all wood,floor walls ,roof and perches twice

have a look www.solwayparrotclub.co.uk/red_mite.htm looks tricky to get rid. aIso ebay item number: 380165341004  also from the same seller Item number: 170384795039  i think i will get both
