Yes, the DE is ok. It is making a difference but there still seems to be some and then the eggs hatch and I’m back to square one again!! I’m at my wits end to be honest. She is my fav chicken (I didn’t say that, I love them all equally )Oh and I do use 'natural' products in my prevention, mostly neem oil and some essential oils, which I use in the coop, as well as the mite eating mites for red mites, I release a tube of them each spring into coop bedding. But when I actually have a problem, then I bring out the big guns right away. In my experience DE doesn't seem to work, but others say it does.
