Happy Mrs Chicken Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have a and I have just bought a small wooden coop and run just to be used for introductions or poorly hens and was thinking of using a red mite product.What is the best product to use in the coop to prevent them?

merlina Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I use diatomaceous earth which i buy by the bucketload from ebay - works out very cheap (the bucket lasts well over a year using it liberally) and (touch wood ) haven't had any red mite problems so it would seem to work as well as more expensive variants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Spray it with Total Mite Kill Concentrate (which leaves a residue which will kill mites) then dust with Buz Busters powder - works every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
