FAQs

Can I use Barrier Red Mite X Concentrate directly on my chickens?

No, this product is specifically designed for treating poultry housing only. For direct on-bird application, please refer to Barrier Red Mite Powder or Red Mite Concentrate.

How often should I use this product?

Application frequency depends on the level of infestation and environmental conditions. Regular checks and preventative treatments are recommended, especially during warmer months. Consult the product label for specific guidelines.

Is the product safe for use near food and eggs?

Yes, the product is non-toxic and safe to use around feed areas, egg layers, and foodstuffs when used as directed. Ensure thorough drying and ventilation before birds return.

What pests does Barrier Red Mite X Concentrate kill?

It is highly effective against Red Mite and other poultry pests such as lice, ticks, and fleas.

Do I need to dilute the concentrate?

Yes, Barrier Red Mite X Concentrate must be diluted with water according to the instructions on the product label before application.

How should I store the product?

Store the concentrate in its original container, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals.

Troubleshooting

Pest re-infestation shortly after treatment

Ensure thorough application to all potential hiding spots within the housing. Repeat treatment as per product instructions, paying attention to gaps and cracks. Consider using a supplementary on-bird treatment if necessary.

Product appears ineffective

Verify the correct dilution ratio has been used. Ensure the product is applied to all surfaces where mites might reside. Red mite can be persistent; a second application may be required after a suitable interval.

Residue left after application

Ensure proper ventilation after application and before reintroducing birds. Allow sufficient drying time. The natural ingredients should break down over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly effective against common poultry pests.
  • Uses natural ingredients, reducing chemical exposure.
  • Dual action: kills pests and disinfects housing.
  • Safe for use in areas where feed and eggs are present.
  • Large volume concentrate offers good value for extensive treatment.

Cons

  • Not for direct application on birds; separate products are needed for on-bird treatment.
  • Requires dilution and application to housing, not an instant spray-and-go solution for birds.
  • Effectiveness may depend on thorough application to all nooks and crannies within housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is a concentrate that requires dilution before use. Follow the instructions on the product label for the correct dilution ratio with water. Typically, this involves mixing a specified amount of concentrate with a larger volume of water in a sprayer.

Compatibility: Designed for use in poultry housing environments. Ensure all sprayers and application equipment are clean before mixing and use.

Care: Store the concentrate in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. After application, allow the treated housing to air out completely before returning birds. Clean application equipment thoroughly after each use.
