Prozap (3 Pack Garden 2-Pounds Each Poultry Dust

We have three Rhode Island Red hens and one of them picked up mites from the house sparrows, which led to a second hen getting them, too, but not as badly. I got into a mode of giving all of the chickens a bath in a poultry insecticide mix every six weeks to eliminate the mites, even leaving them in the bath up to their necks for 10 minutes this last time which simultaneously 'bombing' their coop with foggers, which still didn't kill the bugs. At that point I realized I needed to try something different and found this poultry dust after finding our local feed store was out of stock. I was extremely skeptical of claims the mites were killed immediately, but I dusted the birds directly, put some in their bedding material, and spread some where they like to take dust baths (all as recommended by our local feed store). Shockingly, the mites disappeared immediately and I have not seen any sign of them in the two weeks since we started using this dust. Moving forward, I will sprinkle a little in their bedding material a couple of times a week and lightly dust the girls weekly to help ensure they don't get reinfested. The worst of the three--Buttercup--suffered from cloacal scabs due to the mites, so I'm expecting she'll continue healing and no longer in pain. Ideally, all three (including Speckles and Boo Boo) will be able to be more comfortable not having to deal with mites anymore. (Our last two batches of chickens never had this mite problem.) All of the girls are past egg-laying age and will hopefully be able to live out their retirement in greater comfort thanks to this poultry dust. Note: I would buy again, but I still have two full containers left, which will take a long time to use up at the current rate.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I chose this product because of the reviews. I have put this in my chickens nesting area and around the floor of the coop. I haven't put this directly on the chickens yet. they seem to be doing better about picking at their self. I never did see any mites but they were all picking under their wings and all over. Their feathers were coming out. They are coming back so I hope this continues to help. I have also used chicken protecter on their body and that may also be helping.

Product as described. Works well.

I have a mama hen with 5 babies isolated in a broody coop. I noticed that the 4 week old babies wiere full of lice or mites, not sure which they were. They were tiny, microsopic red/orange bugs with lots of legs (ick!). I bought this Garden & Poultry Dust and applied it all over them - under their wings, around their vent, becks, bellies. I also dusted the mama hen even though I didn't see any bugs on her. I figure if the babies have them and they sleep under the mama, then she probably had them too! I also dusted the sleeping area and around their coop. By the next day, the bugs were gone! No trace left on any of the birds. It's been 2 weeks and I keep checking them, still no trace of bugs! Excellent product! Still lice/mite free as of 2/4/2021!

Works great and are a good value as well

I have been using this in my chicken coops for a year, never had a lice, bug, mite problem. I have almost 30 chickens.

Works so well on chigger mites that were driving my animals crazy--excellent stuff

works well no issues.
