ferretertom 7 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Right i have 3 lots of poultry the bottom pen i caught them all up and it apears they have lice! I allready had some gold lable lice repelant powder which i aplyed yesterday its seems to have reduced the numbers a little but still some there so i reaplyed it. Anybody got and recomendations with something that will keep them away on a longterm basis? Mean while i sprayed the coop with jeyes fluid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dabhand 887 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 spraying the shed will help but id go down your local farm sales and get some spot on for cattle about 30 quid for a 500ml bottle just put a ml on the bald part under the wing do mine every 6 months never had trouble since and i also do the lurchers and terriers and hounds with the same stuff as it treats fleas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DUCKWING 302 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 IVOMEC DRENCH APPLY WITH A COTTON BUD ON THE BACK OF THE NECK ....... SPLIT THE HACKLE FEATHERS DIP IN THE DRENCH AND RUB ON SKIN ....... IT WILL KILL LICE , FLEAS AND WORMS FOR 90 DAYS THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS .. IMO .....AND EXPERIENCE ...... IT DOESNT WORK 100 % OF THE TIME ..... I USE A VARIETY OF TREATMENTS ....... AN OLD FAVOURITE WHICH WORKS WELL IS THE OLD DURAMITEX IN AN EMPTY HOUSEHOLD SPRAY BOTTLE I MIX DURAMITEX AND WATER WITH A SQUIRT OF WASHING UP LIQUID ADDED ...... GO ON A NIGHT AND GIVE THE BIRDS A SQUIRT AROUND THE VENT , UNDER THE WINGS AND UNDER THE NECK HACKLES ........ REPEAT IN A WEEKS TIME ..... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dafydd thomas 13 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 duramitex was a good product and very reasonable, probably for that very fact its been take off the shelves for what ever reason to be replaced by a much more expensive replacement probably Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about dogs, but i use a dot of ivomectin behind each ear for big hobs, and just one dot at the back of the head for smaller jills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
