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.

          Very happy and so are my hens

          This summer my 12 laying hens and hen house became infested with red mite.I have been involved with poultry for over 75 years starting with my mother who at that time had a small poultry farm and also an incubator for hatching her brown leghorn chickens.During that time we probably had a few minor issues with mites but in those days used an insecticide which was nicotine based and called Blackleaf 40.We simply painted this on the perches and never had any problems.
          Back to my recent mite problem. After a thorough clean of the hen house and laying boxes I sprayed your product on the floor walls and boxes and repeated this for 4 days .I then put a heavy coating of your powder on the floor and boxes .More powder was put in the holes in the yard the hens use for dust baths. I guess over a period maybe 3 weeks all sign of mite was gone .
          I am very happy and so are my hens of your product.
          Cheers

          My Chickens are looking floofy and beautiful

          One of my ladies was plucking out her front feathers and there were some black dots on her. They were both looking kinda ratty honestly ... I got a pot of De-mite powder and cleaned and treated their home thoroughly, then as per the instructions I did it again 7 days later. They are lookin fluffy and lovely again. Yay. Exactly the result I was looking for and I didn't have to give them ivomec which is way better for them. I'm happy with my purchase

          Initial treatment and follow up

          Had a mite infestation develop out of nowhere in our chook house; 5 chooks and one rooster. Cleaned it out, carried out a spray treatment, let it dry then applied the powder. Have not had an issue since; I do a light follow up once a month about once a month. Great product and easy to use. I suggest buying a bulb duster to make it easier to get the powder into the nooks and crannies.

          De mite powder

          I have tried diatomaceous earth before with no visible difference observed, so will reserve judgement for a few months. I am hoping for better results with the cypercare in combination with the De - Mite powder. Will know come spring time how they have dealt with the winter mite population,
