Natures Grub Red Mite Powder for Chickens & Poultry 1kg

Help keep your chicken coop fresh, dry and less inviting to crawling pests with Natures Grub Red Mite Powder for Chickens and Poultry.

Made from naturally occurring diatomaceous earth, this fine mineral powder is formed from the fossilised remains of microscopic aquatic organisms. It works through a physical drying action rather than a conventional chemical insecticide.

When crawling mites come into contact with the powder, its fine particles affect their protective outer coating, causing moisture loss and dehydration. Because the action is mechanical rather than chemical, it can make a useful addition to a wider poultry red mite management routine.

Apply it to suitable areas of the poultry house where red mites commonly hide, including cracks, crevices, perch ends, nesting areas and beneath bedding, following the instructions supplied on the packaging.

How to Use

Clean the poultry house thoroughly, removing old bedding, dust and debris before applying.

Use the powder in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions, paying particular attention to the areas where red mites may hide, such as:

• Cracks and joints within the coop
• Perch ends and perch supports
• Nest boxes
• Beneath fresh bedding
• Gaps around fixtures and fittings

Red mites often hide within the poultry house during daylight hours, so treating the environment and maintaining regular cleaning are important parts of ongoing management.

Reapply only as directed on the packaging, particularly after cleaning or where the powder has become damp or disturbed.

Important Safety Information

Diatomaceous earth is a very fine powder and may irritate the eyes, skin or respiratory system if dust is inhaled.

Avoid creating airborne dust during application. Wear suitable protective gloves, eye protection and a well-fitting dust mask. Keep birds, pets and people away from the immediate area while applying the powder and until airborne dust has settled.

Do not apply directly to an animal, add to feed or use internally unless these uses are specifically stated within the manufacturer’s instructions on the product packaging.

Keep out of reach of children. Store securely in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture.

Red mite infestations can be persistent. Check birds and housing regularly and seek advice from a poultry vet where birds appear unwell, pale, weak, distressed or heavily infested.
