Poultry Shield Red Mite Killer.
Have you got a red mite infestation? Then Poultry Shield is the product you've been looking for!
If you've ever had to deal with the despair of being confronted by a hungry army of red mites when going to check on your chickens you're more than fully aware of the discomfort and distress these little vampires cause to your birds, coming out after dark from their hideouts to feed by sucking the chickens blood which can eventually be fatal due to the amount of blood loss if not treated in time.
Luckily red mites are very predictable and easy to deal with. For starters they'll like to hide in cracks whatever material your chicken house is made of. If you have any adjoining sections or even a heavy scratch in the unit, you can be sure you'll find them there and they are small, as Robert says 'two of them can dance on a pin head'. Also they're usually very lazy with most of them hiding directly inside the nesting area.
Treating them couldn't be easier, a quick spray of 1 part Poultry Shield and 10 parts clean water in the nest area also onto the perch bars and you're done, it's that simple. With regular application each day 96% of the mites and lice, including their eggs are killed in 48 hours. As an added bonus Poultry Shield is also effective against bacteria, viruses (including bird flu), yeast and fungi so you're not only stopping the red mite but creating a healthy environment for your birds to live in.
