Use this cleaning product to eliminate red mite for your coupe.
Spray everywhere inside the coupe ensuring plenty of product penetrates all the joins. If possible loosen some of the joints in the structure to guarantee all areas are covered. Felt roofs on a coupe are a problem - the mites typically hide between the felt and the wood. We recommend felt roofs are replaced with unduline corrugated roofing which can be removed and reattached easily.
Do not be tempted to use a household cleaning product as many contain caustic chemicals which can be absorbed by eggs.
Poultry Shield is widely recognised as the most powerful non-caustic cleaning product on the market.
Red Mite Control
Red Mites have a waxy outer shell which can be dissolved by this powerful cleaning product.

How do you know if your chickens have Red Mite problems? You will notice two things; firstly your egg production will start to go down as the chickens need to replace the lost blood taken by the Red Mites (which means less energy to produce eggs) and secondly, the chickens will start to peck each other where they see the infestation usually just at the base of the birds tail feathers. At this point the problem is likely to be causing stress and is getting serious. Keep a close eye out for any pecking behaviour and also any bald, bloody patches appearing on your birds.

Fully HSE Approved and Licensed (Birds & Poultry)

Product Ref: MD136

Scaly legs is a disease caused by a parasitic mite (known as cnemidocoptes mutans) that burrows under the scales of the legs or feet, where it causes great irritation.

This results in a multiplication of the tissue cells and the secretion of the serum. The scales are raised, and the legs become thickened and have a cough lumpy appearance.

The disease is easily recognised as the mites are evident as tiny white spherical creatures, (approximately 0. 5mm in diameter in the early stages). It is highly contagious and affects birds of oil ages, although older birds and feathered leg breeds tend to be more susceptible. it is most common in flocks kept on earth or in dry litter runs.

In the early stages it would appear to cause little inconvenience, but should it be neglected the birds lose condition, go lame and have difficulty in perching. In the worst instance mortality may occur.

Treatment of scaly leg is simple, with the use of Just For Scaly Legs, This specifically blended formulation is designed to kill and effectively control the Scaly leg parasite in one simple spray application.

Just For Scaly Legs works in 3 ways:

1) Suffocates the Scaly leg Parasites instantly, resulting in death
2) Provides immediate relief against itching and irritation
3)A synergised blend of repellents and natural oils provide a protective coating to prevent further infestation of the affected area

Simply spray directly on the leg, feet, comb and wattles to treat the infested areas. Repeat every 5-6 days (to break the egg cycle) until the infestation has gone.
