Y Tex Corp Garden Poultry Dust 2lb

Works great

Identified early-onset problem with Northern mites in henhouse recently; ordered this product immediately & it arrived within a couple of days; thoroughly cleaned the chicken coop (took all of the straw up off the floor & out of nest boxes & shop-vacuumed every nook and cranny; disposed of straw and vacuum remnants into compost bin) and washed interior of coop/nest boxes/roosts/etc. with mild laundry detergent & water in a 5-gallon bucket, slopping it onto all surfaces as best I could with a hand-held soft bristled brush; then I air dried the coop for 5 hours or so (breezy day); donned some gloves and a face mask and gently rubbed this product into as many chicken-occupied surfaces as I could and also around the window sills as well as sprinkled this poultry dust into the nest boxes under the fresh layer of clean, new straw. Also generously sprinkled this into the chickens' outdoor dust bath holes and mixed it into the dirt with a hand-hoe. Takes time to do a thorough cleaning like this, but much better resolution to mites than to use harsh chemicals that the animals have to ingest.

I have one older rooster. He's over 10. I was hesitant about using Permethrin but this has a very low concentration, 0.25% Permethrin. I had used a sulfur compound that has worked before but the mites just got out of control. We think wild birds brought them in. I used this around his vent, legs and bedding and it didn't bother him at all. It took about 5 days and this morning the mites were gone. I believe they do recommend a second dose a week a part to break up the mite life cycle. I also used Manna Pro Poultry Protector from TSC which kills mites on contact but not the mite eggs. I sprayed this every evening around his coop and his feet. Very happy with this product and so is my rooster!

Does kill mites.

This is my go to for mites in my chicken coop. It can be put directly on the chickens too. Works well but not toxic.

I use in nesting boxes and on coop floor. No idea if it does anything or not? But it makes me feel better

This product works great for mites and fleas on my chickens, but my god, it needs to be shipped in a better container. Nothing worse than opening a package just to have toxic dust explode out. Can’t exactly return for a refund either. Really left me with half the powder I bought and no remedy.

I use this in the chickens Dust bath. Works great.
