Keeper eley 367 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Are they mites or lice? You can use ivermec ! I use panomec injection give each fully grown bird 1/2 ml just under the skin does all internal and external parasites Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vfr400boy 3,334 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Iv had duramightx off taz but still got the mights ! If I use ficam how long do you have to leve shed empty for ? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchers 2,763 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 If you are useing ficam w you will have to leave it a couple of hours to dry out mate before the birds can go back in the shed.creasote is good stuff or catch taz for duramitex as you might not of diluted it properly.ivemectan is just to treat your birds not the shed mind so you will have to do both.do your birds tomorrow when they are thirsty so you know they are getting the ivemectan as it only last 24hrs in the water and treat your shed to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Tibbs 14 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I've found the best thing for mite and other sundries is diesel, can taint your eggs so be careful when applying near your nest boxes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcher666phil 43 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Diesel and waste oil mixed sorts them out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vfr400boy 3,334 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks for all replys , going to empty shed then disinfect with bio shield let dry then spray it with duramightx and ivermectin the birds (spot on treatment) and on next dry day I will get the out side creosoted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Would regular dosing with ivomec not eventually kill off mites living in the shed the same way spot on flea treatments do in the household? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchers 2,763 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 You will still have to test your shed mate mite still breed to if ya don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevo79 569 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I've used ivermectin on my birds and it 100% works. We bought it as a goat wormer but if you put a few drops on the neck of your birds the mites will fall off really quick. Me and my wife were shocked how well it worked.

vfr400boy 3,334 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Did birds on Monday and disinfected all sheds and so far so good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taz2010 1,297 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 good soaking with duramitex and they will be gone remember both inside and outside roof and floor must be done make a barrel of duramitex up dunk birds and you will be sorted,fitcam a waste of time imo mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevo79 569 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) We breed and sell 1000s of birds every year ivermectin 0.08% worked better and cheaper than any other treatment and it's not even prescribed for poultry they drop off immediately. Creosote your shed once a year and keep up to date with your ivermectin you won't go wrong at all. Atb Edited September 24, 2015 by stevo79 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
