Millet 4,497 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 What are you poultry folk's views on the stuff for getting rid of red mite..i know of several knowledgeable friend's in the poultry world that say it's a waste of money and it does not work..from personal experience over the past year i also think it's a pile of shite.. I went through quite a bit of the stuff using a few different type's but all that i seen happen was the red mite multiplying.. i could actually see them walking around in the powder which had no effect on them at all.. I also filled my aviary bird's nest's with the stuff but they still got full of Red Mite.. i never had this mite problem when i used simple ant powder..but when i went onto Diatomaceous Earth all hell broke loose..
