Product Details
Barrier Red Mite Concentrate
Red Mite Powder is an insect repellant for amature use against Red Mite also known as Chicken Mit, Roost Mite and Poultry Mite by direct application to poultry animals (but avoiding eyes). Red Mite Powder does not taint eggs. Sterilizable maize is used as the carrier and unlike other carriers, it does not metabolise via cuts, abrasions, scabe, grazes or dry flaky skin areas and form granulomas.
Available in two application methods:
- Powder for dusting
- Liquid concentrate for knapsack application
Both products are effective repellent combinations for direct application to birds and poultry as a proactive ‘no bird’ deterrent to infestation or to easily rectify an existing problem.
Suitable for use ni both organic and intensive farming systems. This product falls into the exempt category or products which use only plant oils as active ingredients, as listed in Annexe IIB (Pesticides) of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2092/91 (as amended) and is therefore suitable to use organic systems.
Careful examination of the birds and housing for mites, which are evident as tiny red to blackish dots. Often found in clusters, under loose clods of litter, under slats, in nesting boxes or in cracks and crevices in the housing structure.
Red Mite infestation can mean:
- Irritation of the birds, resulting in depressed production.
- Increased feed consumption accompanied by a decrease in growth
- Increase in floor eggs, as nesting boxes are avoided
- An increase ni vent pecking, cannibalism and general distress to the birds
- Clinical anaemia, leading to dull, pale combed birds and possibly death
- Pale coloured yoke
- Mite stained eggs resulting in downgrading of eggs
- Dermatitis or skin irritation of staff caring for birds
Directions
Barrier Red Mite Concentrate
Red Mite is a nocturnal creature and so it is best to treat the birds just before lights out. Dim the lights as low as possible to avoid undue agitation.
Thoroughly dust the birds with the powder, avoiding the eyes. Apply sparingly on smaller birds. Dependent upon infestation, the powder can be reapplied as necessary. Don’t forget that Red Mite can live away from the birds for up to 36 weeks.
