Cap so sorry you're fighting this. I'm sure you know how to treat, but if not I can find someone who does.

I dusted the birds with poultry dust and ordered permethrin spray for my coop. Anything else i need, i was thinking maybe flame thrower?

Amazing that they can survive in the bitter cold

The six pack has figured out that the heater plate is a good place to huddle.

That should do it. The permethrin has instructions for the coop and the birds, two different mixes, but best to spray the birds when it's above freezing. This weather is horrible.

That stuff is like $175.00 a gallon! Husband would freak.

That’s for 8 oz.... I bought mine on eBay for cheaper. I can sell some if you want. It is wet so cold weather isn’t the time to use it. Let me know.

Anyone really! I’d be glad to ship off small amounts. Cheaper then buying the whole bottle.

Thanks rjohns39 I appreciate it. I God has a plan for each of us, what that is no one knows. It's hard not to question, or get upset, that's just our fleshy part, thanks once again

Burn The bedding. You don't want them wondering out and getting into it or them crawling back towards them. I did the poultry dust and the P whatever spray. They had a sprayer at Tractor Supply for $10. Just make sure you Retreat in 7 to 10 days even if you don't see any mites. Do a total Coop clean out although some people say you don't need it. Personally I dealt with it it was warm and I completely gutted my coop and removed everything. I burned anything that I could replace and sprayed the hell out of it. Then I puffed poultry dust on my birds and stuck them back in the coop. I didn't do anything to the runs except for rake them out but after the first treatment I didn't see any more mites, but I did do a second treatment a week later. After that we were still good so I did not retreat a 3rd time.

I’ve heard if you empty out your coop then spray it down with bleach let it soak in and rinse it out after ten minutes that will kill all the bugs. I know dish soap will kill any and all bugs and you can spray it on anything plants animals the ground and it is safe
