Permethrin is used to get rid of lice and mites, and repel mosquitos
Permethrin is often used to treat head lice and scabies in humans and the permethrin 10% spray can be used to treat hen houses, coops, and nest boxes and in extreme cases, chickens and other livestock and pets who may also be infested with mites, lice, ticks, or other parasites It is considered to have low toxicity levels to humans and animals while at the same time it is deadly to insects. One quart of Permethrin 10% makes approximately 25 gallons which makes it more affordable than some other methods. I make a dip for my chickens and it works very well. I use 1/16 cup of permethrin per 5 gallons of lukewarm water (not hot, not cold). I quickly dip each bird into the bucket being careful not to get the permethrin dip on their face. Then I pat the bird dry. I usually do this in the evening when the birds are roosting (that way I do not have to waste time catching them) and I do it on an evening when it is hot in the coop so the birds do not get chilled while drying. I also put some in a spray bottle and spray all areas where the birds reside, walls, floors, roosts, nestboxes, lawn, yard, runs, etc. I repeat this process every 3 to 4 months during warm weather. I do not do it in the winter as the cold keeps the pests away and I do not want the birds to get chilled.
Warning: Do not use permethrin on cats, gerbils, hamsters, and pet mice.
Warning!!
Do not spray permethrin directly in birds or animals faces and do not soak birds or animals.
