Question 1

My hens have mites around their back ends. Would you still apply this to their necks or can this be applied to rear near where mites are?

Accepted Answer

i would imagine that it doesnt matter, as it s absorbed in the skin. a bit like when you flea a dog and it shuld repell them. Try facebook groups for advice , i do hen house and fresh start for hen is good. hope this helps .ps my hen i used this on is mite free i also have a plastic coop , wooden ones harber the little mites .

Question 2

Is it a one off treatment or does it need using over several days

Accepted Answer

I use ten days later, to eliminate any newly hatched creepies. In badly infected birds, I take in rescue, I will do a third time in another ten days. But usually just one treatment then another ten days apart.

Question 3

How soon before this starts to work once applied to Pigeon's neck? Will mites and lice die immediately after biting my bird or just crawl off him?

Accepted Answer

I don't keep pigeons but assume it erradicates the same on all birds, the parasite has to bite/feed to take up the treatment, I usually see a difference after about 48 hours on poultry

Question 4

How often can/should this be applied in order to kill even parasite's eggs, then as preventive from new infection?

Accepted Answer

Hens - 
Once a week for 3 consecutive weeks for an infestation.

I removed all wood from their “home” which means lots less places for the besties to hide!  DE powder on shavings. 
I spot on treat spring - before they start laying properly.

I’ve not had to treat them for any infestation for a few years now…I find it’s all about environment.
