also ivermectin is licensed for use in humans as a cream or tablet for scabies which has reassured me in using it. Makes me wonder why the recommendation to not eat eggs for 7 days after treating chickens but then I guess that’s just to be sure as the testing hasn’t been done. There’s no way there could be a higher concentration in the egg than you would take as a treatment dose though. 

You guessed right re the testing.

Please be very careful using DE; as said before, it can cause respiratory and mucous membrane problems in both humans and animals

Well fingers crossed I’m making progress, permethrin smoke fogger used in the coop at the weekend.  Couldn’t see any obvious signs of life anymore today but have lit another to be sure re the lifecycle. I’ll brave exploring into all the corners in another couple of days when I have more time....hopefully at most it will just be a few stragglers to tackle.
