Used Duramitex as a dip years ago but at half strength, yes it cleaned them of lice. Added the rest of the bottle after dipping to spray lofts out against red mite.

i used duramitex for years as a dipping agent and it was first class , the doos stayed beasty free for the year.you could smell it off the doos when you entered the loft and i only had 1 doo go down after dipping.ive not heard of this new type though

was told years ago to dip birds using a third of a bottle of duramitex in warm water to a bucket of warm water, on a good dry warm day,, this most certainly did the trick,,

i do think the duramitex is weaker now than of old

Its not the strength thats the problem its the active ingrediant. ~The previous component that was effective against all nasties was banned and they have tried to create a natural substitue.
