OLDYELLOW Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 blow torch and Chlorcarb , you could also use malathon liquid as a disinfectant and dip , you can also drop tea tree oil in boxes they dont like the smell
Guest stevie-b Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 cholorocarb in warm water and dip them in it

Novice Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Whats the best for the depluming mite let us all know the secret. I've actually forgotten the name of it. I'll go to the hut and read the bottle
Guest Davy Fleming Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 I use Chlorcab once a year and assure you I never ever have any problems
Guest joshdonlan Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 How much is Chlorcab and do the pigeon supplies sell it? I have been using the anti lice/mites bath crystals, but they were quite expensive. So far ive only had the basic red feather lice and this cleared them up, but have been told that vinegar can do the trick :-/ What does everyone use in the bath water?
ALF Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 I use Chlorcab once a year and assure you I never ever have any problems TWICE A YEAR HERE DAVY 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE THE OLD BIRD RACING STARTS AND ABOOT A MONTH BEFORE THE YOUNG BIRD RACING STARTS WHEN EVERY DOO IN THE LOFT IS DIPPED AGAIN MATE
lanarkshire lad Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 cholorocarb in warm water and dip them in itBy the way ive used chloracarb for years and ive noticed it dont eradicate the quill mites completley,i need to use johnsons powder on them also.Imust have the stubborn ones.
Guest stb- Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 why not use ivomec works great, or benzole benzonate
Novice Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Whats the best for the depluming mite let us all know the secret. The product I used is called Benzyl Benzoate. I bought 500ml for about £4.00 online from Chemists Direct last year. It's used to treat seaside nippers (crabs) in humans. No I don't suffer. One application with a cotton bud to the bird which was suffering did the trick. It just takes time for the feathers to regrow.
