Eeek - The dreaded Red Mite has landed

Recommended Posts

I suppose it was only a matter of time before we were faced with this problem. Found the revolting creatures on the ends of the perches yesterday when cleaning out the hut. Why do you always find this sort of thing at 5 on a Sunday ?

 

We have steam cleaned the hut and the run and I'm planning to wash it out with Poultry Shield and then dose the ladies and the floor of the run with Diatom powder.

 

If there are any Omleteers in the Sheffield area please can you tell me where I can get hold of these products, I work in S3.

 

And, is this the right approach and is there anything else I shoud try.

 

Thanks for your help with this.

Hello there :D

 

Ive just tried googling it for you, im afraid i cant find any shop that sells it :/

I think your best bet is the omlet website or another website.
