haven't found an answer, bathe after a permethrin dip?

[getreal]

I had to dip my rooster with permethrin. Loaded with mites. It's been a bad year! My question is, do I bathe him after a few days or just leave it alone? I searched for an answer but couldn't find anything on a follow up. thanks

Wait a week, wash, rinse well, and reexamine for mites.

You're going to have to clean out the coop and nest boxes and treat both with Permethrin dust or liquid concentrate solution. Otherwise your rooster and other birds will get mite infected again.

I have done all that already and treated all the other birds. Rooster is in the house right now. Giving him some extra nutrients and tlc.
