Seems I have this lice situation here - nasty creepy crawly things.
I can treat all the birds with Ivermectin, and I am fine with that - most are molting or just coming out of being broody or just old pensioners so they are not laying, thus egg withdrawl is not a problem for me.
My question is with spraying the hen house and nest boxes, I wish to spray with Permethrin 0.10% which is about all I can get here in Canada (as a fly spray for my horses).
Will that concentration be adequate enough for the killing of the blighters?
FYI - I found out about them when I started having the crawly things on me after handling one of my pullets - EWWW! I can only imagine what the poor wee birdies are going through.
