Hi,
I found Red mites inside the coop on the 17th May. I did the usual mad clearing, cleaning and spraying everything I could. I finally got it under control with Exzolt which worked perfectly! They are no longer in the coop or the hens. They were still on the framing of the run but I sprayed it down every day and thankfully still not going into the coop itself. But today I noticed they were on the plastic storage container outside the run where I store their food/bedding etc.. I'm at a complete loss as to where they are coming from or how I can control it. I am in the process of building a new coop so all of the current wood/framing will be taking away and burned. Is it likely its because it's under a tree and lots of wee birds about going into their food?
