De-Mite Powder | Appletons

Description

For long-lasting residual control of red mites and other external parasites in poultry housing.

red mite

Organic powder treatment, when used regularly in poultry housing, acts as a deterrent for red mites.

  • 100% natural food-grade Diatomaceous Earth
  • Can be used safely in organic systems
  • Works well as a preventative
  • No withholding period for meat or eggs

How it works

  • Apply (dust) on roosts and nesting areas in poultry houses.
  • The mites will crawl through the powder (silica) to reach the birds.
  • The powder (silica) scratches the red mites' waxy outer covering of their exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate and die slowly.
  • Available in 350g, 1kg and a bulk 5kg.

How to use

  • First sanitise the hen house with Poultry Safeguard Concentrate or Smite Concentrate,
  • Then, when surfaces are dry, apply the Appletons De-Mite Powder.
  • Using a gloved hand or our handy powder applicator sprinkle/apply to roosts and in nest box bedding.
  • Apply to floor litter if birds huddle/sleep on the floor at night
  • Dust Appletons De-Mite Powder into all the corners and timber joins around the house, roosts, and nest boxes.
  • We apply it weekly in our hen houses and coops to keep on top of mites.
  • It can also be effectively used in small amounts in poultry dust bowls/baths to aid with external parasite control.

Ongoing Maintenance
Regularly (weekly) dust roosts and nest boxes, especially in the warmer months. Especially between coop cleans. This will help to deter any red mites. This is the best way to keep on top of them.
