RED MITE SEASON

Prevention and Treatment
Once Red-mite have arrived in your poultry house it can be an incredibly difficult problem to solve 100%, although it is possible, we always recommend preventative action is taken to avoid a ‘mite-mare’.

Quick Check List:
Check regularly for signs of red mite, are your birds looking spritely and alert, not lethargic or anaemic?
Look for red mite poo! – ash like ‘salt n’ pepper’ markings around the cracks and crevices
Has egg production slowed down or stopped for no other obvious reason?
Do your birds seem reluctant to go into the coup at night (being shut in with loads of biting critters is no one’s idea of fun!)
Inspect the coup at night with a torch, if there are red mites, you will see them on the perch and walls, as well as on your birds (though don’t stick your head in too far!)
Through April to September clean out, spray and powder once a week
Through September to April, although mite are generally less active, it is still worth spraying every 2-3 weeks, with powder sprinkled around in between.
Dispose of cleaned out material in such a way that no red mite can return to the coup.
Consider use of a poultry tonic or herbal supplement to repel the mites & maybe a vitamin supplement to aid recovery from an infestation.

We use Poultry Shield and Diatom for our birds but have a range of products available in the shop.
