Adams flea and tick spray for mites- should I toss the eggs?

[Chicken Fruit]

I am treating my flock for mites, I have used sevin dust on them and DE and then followed up with Adam's just to be certain. I did one treatment about three or four days ago, and then another tonight. We've been just tossing the eggs- but I am wondering if we really have to?

And if we do for how long should be continue to?

It is illegal to use Adams Flea & Tick on poultry. FYI http://www.ansci.umn.edu/poultry/resources/alerts-pesticide-past.htm

I think i'll take my chances with the Adams spray. lol. There's nothing else sold locally thats safe to use on them, choosing between anemic dead chickens and overly regulated pesticides is not a hard choice. Its illegal to use any flea tick medication in any way other than stated on the packaging. By that note its illegal for me to follow my vets instructions on OTC flea drops- use one dose every three weeks not four.

Anyway, still doesnt answer my question....

Since it's very cold here, would it be ok if i use Adams spray on my flocks. I will use Sevin dust in the spring, thanks in advance

I was told by a chicken farmer around here that you should wait two weeks, but I cannot vouch for his integrity, I don't know him. After reading this I was curious and asked a fellow at TSC. So I'd wait to be safe.
