Steps:
- Mix the acaricide with water in a bucket ( follow manufacturer's advice on the mixing ratios)
- Dip chicken one by one in the medicated water; do not dip the head
- Let each dipped chicken out of the coop into the open air.
- Remove feeders and drinkers from the poultry house.
- Spray the poultry house with the acaricide.
To note:
- Use the right acaricide illustrated for chicken, use of organophosphates for dipping chicken is fatal
- Dip the chicken early in the morning, on a sunny day and let them out to dry.
- For stubborn mites repeat this every 4 days for two weeks.
