Monterey Garden spray, Spinosad question

[Maiahr]

It arrived today! I ordered a 1 quart bottle of Monterey Spinosad garden spray and after 2 months it arrived. Now, I cannot find the guidelines how to mix with water and spray against lice/mites, I.e. how much spray per how much water? I have seen it here somewhere but would appreciate if someone helps me find the link.

Right, I did Google and read the label but there are no instructions against lice/mites.

Can you call the manufacturer? Nowhere did it mention applying it to any animals, only as a garden product.

Urgh, I am in Eastern Europe and calling USA is expensive. I could send them am email, but I have seen something here in the forum's, just can't find it...

What did you end up doing? Elector PSP is incredibly expensive but it's 45% spinosad vs 0.5% in Monterey Garden spray, because Elector is basically a concentrate that you mix yourself. I'm going to do the math and see which is cheaper, but still considering going for the garden spray just as a cheaper investment. We've never used it before.

I used Monterey Garden spray 0.5%, as it was the only one I was able to buy online and have it shipped here. I used 1:5 mix (1 part Garden spray and 5 parts water + a couple of drops of Neem oil) and sprayed. It is working, all nasty bugs start leaving the chicken (I put the chicken on a white paper or sheet so I can see), BUT after every rain the mites and lice/ Argas persicus / we call them chicken tick are multiplying by millions. So I found a local product, based on Carbaril/Sevin + Deltametrin (4th generation Permethrin) and I have to spray every 14 days. I don't have such a big problem with Dermanyssus gallinae as Permethrin works for them (as a temporary solution and then I have to spray every week or so). Additionally, I read garlic works against Argas persicus and I am trying to find garlic oil... Let me know what you come up with in terms of price.
