Egluntyne Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Johnson's Anti Mite and Insect Spray *not licensed for use on poultry in UK will do the trick nicely. Available at a decent pet shop and online. There is an egg withdrawal period of a couple of days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmusgrove123 Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 thanks what do you think about this product http://www.chicken-house.co.uk/acatalog/Barrier_Louse_Powder_500g.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I love it. It smells divine. I have just powdered all my girls' armpits and bottoms with it this afternoon. It is more of a preventative than a treatment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Is that louse powder different to the red mite powder? Should i be using both ? and do you dust your girls with it as a matter of course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest...I can't see a difference. The both smell exactly the same and have the same ingredients. I do my girls about once a month - ish.
