Hi All,

 

Collecting my girls in two weeks and getting all the last little bits done - Please could somebody suggest the best place to buy red-mite spray, there are so many different types online i am totally confused. I want a spray that i can just spray on their perches and in their house, don't want to have to put it on the birds themselves.

 

Also....how often will the house need red-mite spraying?

 

Thanks,

Hi

 

I only used red mite spray when I saw a few mites between the bars of the perches.

I used something called Defest made by beaphar (www.beaphar.com). I followed the instructions and it worked very well. It is supposed to be used in cages and aviaries and is safe to use around birds.

I think I just got it from a local pet shop.

 

Good luck with your chickens
