[MarketGardener]

i have some antiforte mite stop for chickens its 30ml per l geraniol and lemon eucalipotus, it says to spray direct on the girls but it smells bloody strong ? will they be ok and will the chicks be ok? i know how effective geraniol can be! but is it ok on chicks? i cant get elector psp in the uk and its killing me

It has geranium oil and citronella plus eucalyptus oil, and says it is for dogs and cats. I doubt if any of those would treat a mite outbreak, and chickens or birds can have sensitive respiratory systems. Sulfur powder can help to kill mites, if you can find that inna garden center. Treating a coop, roosts and nest boxes usually requires a good spray. Mites are hard to irradiate completely. On chickens the eggs can hatch every 5-7 days, so it requires a follow up treatment to get newly hatched eggs. I would consult your regular vet in case they have a suggestion.

It’s this they do whole farm,
I use it at my market garden and if I have a bad mite infestation resistant to my normal I use geraniol and it’s wipes them out


It’s lice I have the seasonal one come in with wet week then 28c week and brooding hens

So I’ve sprayed all over as it seems to say it’s safe online and says direct spray for them too ,

I sprayed coops they all went in to roost fine no problems or resentment to it lol

Will see in the morning I’m gonna strip all the sawdust out in the day then jet wash at night then il use my hydrogen peroxide alcohol combo with geraniol to wipe the floors outside coops while there roosting
Then use the last of my spinosad in them let the floor dry till morning and spray with em1 fill with sawdust sprayed in been and let them have it
