Poultry-Shield is a safe liquid concentrate, diluted before use, for spraying onto the Red Mite and their eggs. It is essential that Poultry-Shield actually makes contact with the mite and their eggs. The reaction on contact is the break up of the wax coating causing dehydration and death of the mite. Poultry-Shield at the same time penetrates the protective coating of the mite eggs producing a similar reaction. The kill time from contact of Poultry-Shield with the mite to eventual dehydration is approximately 48 hours.

Residual effect is the destruction of the mite eggs thus breaking the reproductive cycle. Unlike the powders, Poultry-Shield has a deep penetrating effect into the cracks, crevices and corners where the mite aggregate to sleep and lay eggs.

Bonuses are Poultry-Shield is a bactericide, a virucide and a fungicide. Poultry-Shield is a multi-purpose cleaner. We recommend regular cleaning of the Henhouse with this product to keep the danger of all infections at bay. Best applied with a Pressure Sprayer and using rubber gloves, which eases the job and makes it most effective or, on a small scale, with a used, rinsed kitchen cleaner spray bottle.
