toastedblue Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 is this an alternative to red mite powder or do I need both ? and, is this the right stuff... because it seems very cheap compared to Omlet's at £16 for TWO 400g puffer packs... http://www.pesthelp.co.uk/weshop/flea-control.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yes, thats the right stuff! Diatom for short. I use both diatom and red mite powder as a preventative measure. Up to you really, but the red mite powder smells lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I use both too. Diatom brushed onto the ends of the roosting bars and in any crevices in the eglu (and a tiny bit in their tea a couple of times a week) and Red Mite Powder added to their nest box. Also dust Red Mite Powder under their wings if I ever remember (only done that once so far ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Look up Magic Dragon by Mitex, they sell it in a lot of pet shops, its the same thing again, but about £2 for a little puffer bottle. You dont need much as it lasts ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
