A Quick Question Lads

[jeppi26 1,855]

Caught up my canary chicks (about 3month old) and noticed on one of the chick 2 mites clear in colour? So was wondering what's the best mite spray for canaries and finch?

[KittleRox 2,147]

you should be able to pick up a tin of Johnsons mite spray at your local pet shop

B&Q ant powder has the same mite killing ingrediant and is a bit cheaper than the johnsons mite powder is,but have never used it myself but plenty of lads on some of the bird forums use it with no bother and if i ever get mite i will give it a try as well.

Better spraying the cages every now and again mate, prevention, cure and awe that, especially for red spider, I used to spray the insides of the budgie nest boxes as well just before the birds were ready to start laying, I,ll be doing the same with nest pans

duramitex or as a prevention diatomaceous earth, kills all known mechanical dandruff stone dead ya ginger f**k pig lol. works for my choocks anyhow

Duramitex isn't the same as it used to be apparently.

[Bootsha 1,306]

i agree gnipper, its in some sort of aerosol now. But luckily for me, i still have some of the meat, mix it yourself stuff, 1 bottle to 2 galls of water. But its my last bottle.

 

Jokes aside tho, i used that diatomaceous earth for a while now, under the dogs and in the poultry houses, touch wood, no bother at al, but wait till the warm weather comes for the chickens and sheds. but a 100% natural, 24/7 product that kilss mechanical dandruff is the way forward in my opinion, and it works.

You can buy it in a bottle still mate but there's something left out of it apparently ( I never used the old stuff) it smells different and doesn't have the effect it had before.

benzol benzoate diluted 50/50 with water works well in a spray bottle do all the nooks,cracks and crannys, other than that as fireman says ant powder for the birds. steam also works wonders on nest pans/box`s etc.
