Description
Providing lasting protection against mites and lice, Battles Poultry Red Mite Powder contains a new-generation insect repellent to ensure effective results and a happy, healthy bird.
Easy to use and effective in action, Battles Poultry Red Mite Powder is a simple, completely natural solution for use directly on your bird, to repel and control red mites and other insect pests on poultry. It can also be used on livestock and is an easy powder formula packaged in a handy shaker tub. Red Mites can be one of the biggest problems you will face when keeping chickens, as they live in the cracks of coops and houses, are extremely small, and only come out at night crawling onto your birds to feed. Despite their name, red mites start a light grey colour and only become a red colour after feeding, and are only active during the summer and warmer months.
How can I tell if red mites are present?
You may notice some changes in the behaviour, activity, appearance or demeanour of your poultry if red mites have infested the house and your bird. These include a reduction or end to egg laying, visible red blood stains on the eggs, signs of anaemia, pale combs and more. You may also see refusal to go into roost. Eventually, red mite infestation will lead to losses in the flock so it’s essential you routinely check and use a protective and preventative treatment, as they multiply very quickly and their life cycle is only 7 days.
