coco Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have just done my weekly clean out and have found red mite in my little house. They were under the perches but weren't there last week. I have soaked everthing with poultry shield and will Diatom the house when its dry. Hopefully I have caught them early as the hens are still going to bed quite happily and are all laying well. I'm sitting here scratching despite a change of clothes and a good wash. Think I will go and have a shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Make sure you repeat the treatment in a week to make sure you get the new mites from the eggs that will hatch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
