2 kg Diatom Powder (Diatomaceous Earth) Diatomaceous Earth is an effective control against many mite and lice problems associated with poultry including red mite.
Sprinkle Diatom powder on the floor of the house at a the rate of 50g per square meter.
It can also be added to the bottom of nest boxes and the hens favourite dust bath. Used in this manor the chickens will self medicate and reduce the need to handle them. Alternatively, diatom powder can be applied directly to the bird using the 450g diatom puffer pack.
Diatom powder (Diatomaceous Earth) has the effect on mites of walking across shards of glass. Their outer waxy coating soon becomes damaged and they die from dehydration. Because it is an inert mineral there is no egg withdrawal or chemical residue to consider although we recommend you wear gloves when handling diatom powder.
If you are dealing with an infestation of Red Mite we recommend you use poultry shield as an initial control followed by diatom powder (Diatomaceous Earth)

Red Mite Control Fantastic stuff. Purchased poultry shield along with the Diatom powder which was delivered extremely quickly. It has done an amazing job, chickens house was completely infested, having used the poultry shield the numbers of red mite were dramatically reduced. Sharon Tapp - Newtownards

Seems to be doing the trick Have used this product before with excellent results, although this time it seems to be taking longer to work. It's probably down to a really bad infestation. Works well with the bobby duster dust applicator. -
havent used it yet i haven't used this yet as i have the diatom puffer. i bought this so i could refill the puffer as it works out cheaper. by the way the puffer is excellent. tina - stanley, county durham
We are waiting for results It was very quickly delivered and we did a good clean of the henhouse and used it in the sawdust and on the perches. The general condition of the chickens saw a rapid change to their feathers. However we are still waiting for the scaley leg to improve. (Wells Poultry added: The appearance of legs won't change until new scales grows) -

Appears to work wonders We had signs of lice on some of our Peking bantams. A brief dose with this and there has been no signs since. We also put a bit in the soil in the chicks favourite sand bathing area to help ensure a regular coating. I can highly recommend the product and the fast efficient services. John Dabill - Guildford
