red mite control

i have used this for few years
http://www.diatomx.co.uk/
just thought i would share

thanks for the info steve, will pass this on to the fancier i was telling you about.............its something which i havnt given much thought to in the past.

i can say it works for me
i had big problem for years with red mite
not any more

what sort of problems did you get steve ...?

had red mite bad down here
always have
dont know why
but seems to be a problem down this way

but how was it effectig the birds....? what signs did you see?

Steve showed us this in the chat, looks good stuff, kills the mites without chemicals and he can vouch for it that it works.

looks good steve and a reasonable price....

david birds where covered in the mites if you go in loft during darkness with a torch you,ll get the shock of your life if you look in the nests and on the birds
these little gits are feedng on your birds during the nite


yes pete i paid 30quid for a big bucket of it few years ago and still got loads left
so i thought it was a good buy
and its used in poultry farms the farmer i got mine of also reckons it works on worms aswell (but i havnt tried it for worms )

yes steve it does kill worms and destroys worm eggs,i know a guy that has about 60 chickens and he swears by it and has been using it for years
