katieD Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 well i suppose the questions in the title! one of my chooks has had lice for while ive tried the powder over and over again with no success- bought the mite spray and was wondering if anyone knew if the eggs were safe to eat? if not how long? thanks katie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was told to withdraw eggs for 48hr-72hrs....which I did. There is a thread on this spray in FAQ Chicken Health which might help you more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I rang their helpline as I use this spray on my girls and was told that you should withdraw eggs for your own consumption for 2 days but if you sell them to the public, you need to withdraw eggs for 7 days. The spray is excellent and much easier to use than powders. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 We did too for the first few uses and lived to tell the tale but after hearing from the manufacturers, we do withdraw eggs for a couple of days for us now.......just in case . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
