    Mites Infection in the Winter | Elector PSP Application

    Hi everyone! My silkies have mites and I want to get these off ASAP. I have elector PSP and I want to spray each of them down and their coop(and clean the coop), but I’m worried to stress them out or to do this application in the cold. I’d try to take them inside to my basement to try to let...

    Feather mites or something worse?

    I have a large flock 33 hens and 2 roosters. Some of them started having a strange loss of feathers as seen in the pictures. It usually starts on their back near the tail and very slowly (weeks-months) gets worse with the loss traveling up the back. Some birds also had feather loss on top of the...

    Suggestions for dealing with mites

    Hi All, I just discovered my chickens have mites for the first time. Not sure what type they are but they were dark colored and I found them crawling on eggs, in the nest box, and on the roost. I'm going to assume all 8 of my chickens need to be treated. I ordered some Elector PSP online which...

    Mite infestation! Has anyone tried captain jacks dead bug?

    I’m looking for more organic ways of treating with no egg waste. I know I’ve heard a lot of good things about elector psp but I’m trying to save up for some as it’s so expensive. I should be able to get it in a couple weeks but I wanna provide some relief now. Captain jacks says it kills mites...

    How quickly does elector PSP kill mites/lice?

    I’ve discovered poultry lice and have sprayed elector psp on each bird and in the coop after cleaning. I’ve found many threads stating this is a one time application - have you found that to be true or should I plan on treating again? Also, how long does it take to kill the lice? Do the nits...

    Most effective application method for treating DUCKS for Northern Fowl mites and Red Poultry mites?

    Most information and discussions about this revolve around chickens. Ducks have such dense waterproof feathers and different bathing, preening and foraging habits, so I am specifically asking for duck information from people who have experience treating ducks. My main question is about the...

    I keep reading elector PSP is the best spray to treat a coop for red mites, is there anything more affordable out there that actually works? Has anyone had any luck with ivermectin?

    Sick Chicken, IDK what to do. Please help.

    Hey ya'll. I'm a new chicken mom, a little back story to how we got here. I got 5 chicks from a lady who hatches them off a local FB group. They were all happy and healthy, 2 turned out to be cockerels and I could keep them due to city laws. At the time when I got the chicks the woman assured me...

    Elector PSP: How Often to Use, Safe to Use with Permethrin?

    Updated with some answers (in red)! Good day, chicken friends! I recently adopted this sweet girl. After bathing her (she was CAKED with feces), I noticed a large, mite-infested bump on her head. I've checked around her vent, under her wings, on her neck, etc, and it seems like the mites...

    Elector PSP in Laundry (Children in Home)

    I bought some Elector PSP for our chicken coop mites. I bought the vial at the feed store and put it in my canvas bag for safekeeping. Well, it leaked. I didn’t want to throw the bag away so I threw it in the wash. We are about ten loads past that day and the drum still smells like Elector PSP...

    Lice eggs concern

    I have treated with Elector PSP for lice (please leave off your comments about elector psp not being labeled for use on lice, thanks) and I see zero live lice but there are still eggs at the base of the feathers. When will those fall off? Do I need to treat again? Feeling very paranoid about...

    Elector PSP - two questions!

    Some of my flock have lice 😬. I treated everyone and the entire coop (after I stripped it) with poultry lice dust while I waited for my Elector PSP to arrive. It arrived today and I treated all my birds thoroughly with that. I saw no live lice but there were definitely eggs and I made sure to...

    Is it always serious?

    Hello everyone my name's Rebecca! I'm new to BYC and raising chickens! BIT of background: I raised 5 day old chicks. At 7 weeks one turned out to be a rooster that I sadly had to rehome due to zoning regulations. To keep our flock number at 5 we decided to rescue a similar age pullet (6-7...

    I've been battling red mites in my coop. New build this year, new pullets, virgin ground. Used Elector PSP, proper dosage. Still coming back, so I should treat coop again and 7-10 days from now for new hatchings? Can I do a whitewash treatment inside the coop today also or should I wait? What...

    Elector PSP and whitewash?

    We ordered the Elector end of July. First treatment did 2.5 ml. to a litre mixed well and mixed whilst spraying. 3 days later still had mites. The next three times, we mixed 3 ml. to a litre (the dosing on the bottle says 9 ml. to a gallon ... so our dose was correct). The last two hubby...
