FAQs

How often should I apply Battles Poultry Red Mite Powder?

Application frequency depends on the level of infestation and environmental conditions. Typically, reapplication may be needed every few weeks, especially during peak mite seasons. Follow product instructions and monitor your flock closely.

Can I use this powder on chicks?

It is generally recommended to use caution when applying any treatment to very young birds. Consult the product packaging or a poultry health expert for specific guidance on chick application.

What is p-menthane-38-diol?

p-menthane-38-diol is a synthesized compound that acts as an insect repellent, derived from natural sources.

Is this product safe if a bird ingests a small amount?

While the powder is applied externally, ingestion of small amounts may occur during preening. The formulation aims for safety, but significant ingestion should be avoided. Keep the product out of reach of birds when not applying.

How do I store the Battles Poultry Red Mite Powder?

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

Can this be used on other poultry like ducks or geese?

While primarily formulated for chickens, it may be suitable for other adult poultry. However, always observe birds closely after application and consult with a poultry specialist if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Product not dispensing evenly

Check if the shaker holes are blocked. Gently tap the container or use a soft brush to clear any clogs.

Birds appear agitated after application

Ensure the powder was not applied too heavily or near sensitive areas like the eyes. Application should be light and targeted. If irritation persists, consult a veterinarian.

Mite problem persists

This product is designed for use with Poultry Louse Powder. Ensure both are being used correctly and consider a thorough coop cleaning and re-treatment schedule.
