Mites!

[moniquem]

So one of my girls has mites.......

I just purchased Country Vet Farmguard Permethrin Concentrate. How much should I dilute this into a 32 ounce spray bottle? I plan on treating all 3 of my girls

Is it the 13.3% strength?

I found this on Jeffers Pet website. Dilution is on the bottom of the page as well as on the label. https://www.jefferspet.com/products/farmgard-13-3-permethrin

 

[MarkJr]

If so 2 oz per gallon per label.
I spray chickens at .50% which is 40ml per quart or 8 teaspoons.

 

[moniquem]

It is 13%

Are there instructions inside the label? Here are the instructions from Valley Vet from the manufacturer—scroll down for poultry:

I am figuring 3.75 ml per each quart (32 ounces) or 15 ml per gallon, but please look at the link and double check the math.

Repeat in a week. Then repeat week after. Should be knocked to zero.

Will do. Only my special needs girl seems to have it, but all must be treated. The good news is my coop is only 4x4 and I only have the 3 girls so won't be to bad. I feel so bad for her....
