If the red poultry mite problem persists
CHECK NARROW HIDING GAPS,
NOT JUST LARGE VISIBLE SURFACES
AGAIN.
- A narrow gap at a perch or cage joint may have been missed.
- There may be different hiding places behind nest boxes and equipment.
- Newly seen mites may not have come into contact with treated surfaces.
- Problems on animals and on poultry housing surfaces must be assessed separately.
Monitor perches, nest boxes, cracks and equipment joints together. A severe or continuing problem may need a more comprehensive assessment. Applying the product to animals is not a solution.
