Elector PSP is what I use too. I literally use it once a year. That stuff is awesome. I dunk my chickens in a tote, of course using the correct amount to per gallon of luke warm water. After doing so, I do a deep cleaning of the coop walls, floor, nesting boxes, and roosting bars. I make sure I do this on the first Saturday of the month, because I use FIRST SATURDAY LIME on all of the areas mentioned above. I then put my pine shavings down, and sprinkle more on top of the shavings as a double dose of protection. I sprinkle the roosting bars, nesting boxes, and walls. I sprinkle the perimeter of my run also, which is a 40ft. X 40ft. run. My coop is a 10ft. X 10ft., and is 2ft. off the ground. Insects hate this stuff and won't go near it. I hope your channel continues to grow, because you give valid facts on raising and caring for chickens. Keep up the great work. I use this method, because I free range my chickens too. I have two German shepherds that actually watch over them when they free range.
I just put down some wonderful hemp for my chickens in their roost and nesting area. Now I think they might have lice or mites....oh dear! They have lost feathers around their neck and head. I don't know if it's from molting. None have lost a lot of feathers on their main body. They might be about a year old by now. I give them great food, no roosters, not over populated and now they get to free range.It's February, but this feather loss which is around the head and neck have been going on for about three months. I got them as pullets in July and they aren't as friendly as I'd like. Therefore, they don't like me to inspect them by picking them up, looking under feathers, etc. I want to buy chicks so it will be easier to handle chickens. I will be inspecting them as soon as the rain stops and gets a little dryer....whether they like it or not.

TY Nikki! This was the BEST most in depth video I’ve found to help with mites (and I watch soooo many videos)! Had no clue how big they were (I’d have been looking for something bigger), what they looked like, what the eggs looked like, and different ways to find them (the roost bar tip!) This was some great practical info! TY❣️
So, much useful information! I so appreciate that you actually show us the critters, and show us what to do. Thank you for the work you put into to this, I'm sure it will help many people - and chickens.
I love your channel.Very educational and sticking to the subject.Me and the family just got back from a 7 day cruise,while my sis-in-law was supposed to care for them.Got back and coop was filthy.It burned my nostrils from the ammonia build-up when cleaning the neglected coop.Now they are scratching their faces and shaking their heads.Just 3 hens and all are doing this suddenly.Guess I will go check for mites and check roosting bars now.They never shook their heads and scratched before.Plus one has a bare spot on her neck.Thank you very much.Subscribed!
Great video- except they can and do get on people and pets. I am currently battling a bad infestation that made its way into the house. I was bitten so badly that I had to go to the dermatologist and get permethrin lotion and steroids. My cat also had to go to the vet. I finally eradicated them from the house, but am still battling the coop. After 10 years of having chickens, this is a miserable first.
This is true. I am having the same problem. They are northern fowl mites that started when baby wild birds left their nest in my backyard. I've been battling them since last summer. I can't touch a chicken without the mites immediately getting on me. If you Google, it states right on any chicken page that chicken/bird mites can and do infest human homes. The only good thing is that they can't reproduce with human blood.
Ended up getting rid of my chickens I've had for years due to this mite infestation. There was no getting rid of them. A much more experienced person took them (bc they wanted to show them at fair) and was sure they could get rid of the mites. Months later, she has still not been able to rid the chickens of them. She said she's never seen mites so resistant. I have just recently been able to walk out in my backyard without getting one on me. I won't keep chickens again for this reason
After cleaning my coop I had them in my hair it was awful, to get rid of them I used a home hair dye. So now I wear disposable decorating overalls with a hood. .
I found the hard (aka expensive way) that you need to shake this bottle periodically if you’re not using it. Mine was kept in an appropriate place but left untouched it separated and then hardened. I had to buy another bottle which is now about $160
I've watched so many videos on this subject. I found your video the most informative and encouraging. Thank you. Now that I have confirmation our coop has an infestation it's time to get to work! Have a blessed day ☺️
I have been BATTLING NFM mites since March. I still am. I have never seen anything like this. I've done it all!!! To include PSP. I have always cleaned my coop and run weekly. I've burned everything 9 times this year. I am actually on my way down to clean everything again today. I haven't lost any of my flock, but been baths, sprays, dusts, supplements, sulfur, baking soda, boric acid. They have a 6x7 dust bath in their enclosed covered run. They do free range everyday,, so all i can think is they are picking them up constantly. Im hoping winter will help me win this.. Its just nuts.
I’m down here in Estero, Florida and I’m just starting to see mites on my hens vents,never had an issue b4 this year(maybe IAN flood). I am going to try high Hi-yield dusting the vents see how that works out.
I love your videos!! I just received my Elector psp and I have 2 questions. When you say you can't spray the chickens in the winter what temperature are we talking about? I live in Atlanta but I grew up in Avon Lake, Ohio and they have VERY different winters. My other question is about the expiration of Elector PSP. I understand that the concentrate has no expiration but what about after it's mixed with water? Should I use or toss what's in the spray bottle? Thank you in advance!!!
Thank you so much for this great info! I've been stressing with my chickens who all stopped laying and I couldn't figure out why. One is losing feathers like she's molting again. I'm in SE FL and its the end of April. It's always pretty warm and humid here.
I had an infestation last May but I didn't know it. I've had chickens many years and this was the first time. Anyway I closed the chickens and came the house. Started feeling itchy. Real itchy on my scalp. I turned my head over the sink and scratched and mites fell into the sink. Freaked me out. I bagged my clothes and showered. The next day I inspected everything and boy oh boy...not good.
Hi Nikki. Great article. We just found out we have mites in our flock. Purchased the Elector PSP and will be doing the flock and coop cleaning this weekend. Question… have you tried First Saturday Lime as well? Just wondering if that is a good option as well once we do the PSP. 😊
I’m glad you put this out I’m not having issues but it’s good to know and I really didn’t want to have to stop the egg process either and thank you for naming the chicken Shirley I like that name 😂
OMG, I thought I had the cure! I have 4 chickens and no friends nearby with chickens. So, at $160 for 8 Oz, that’s a bit too pricey for me!! I will have to keep looking, but I love your channel and all the tips!
I treated my hens today after receiving the 9 ml bottle of Elector PSP. I needed to know how long the solution will be viable after mixing - hours? a couple of days? - in case I couldn't get all the birds done by myself. So I called ValleyVet who sells it and they had me talk to the vet, herself. She was amazing! Turns out, as long as it is out of sunlight, it will last 24 hours once mixed with water. Also I asked about this "one-time application" that every RUclips chicken lady is advocating and the vet said that is NOT true. The directions clearly state the treatment has to be repeated in 7-10 days, although she recommended 14 days. Still, I did some research in scientific studies and there is some indication it works as an ovicide (kills eggs) but not 100% of the time; only about 63% of eggs were consistently destroyed. The problem is that the developing insect inside the egg doesn't have a nervous system yet and the bacteria affects its nervous system, so there's some distinct moment the bacteria has to come into contact with the insect as it develops. Anyway, it's not 100% or one-time only. Anyway, I thought folks would want to know. Normally use coconut oil to repel and destroy lice AND the eggs, and it works a charm annually on the few that get it while foraging on an acre around wild birds and their lice, but this summer was super hot and humid so the hens been lying around more which made it more difficult to control. Coconut oil is the only thing that actually breaks down and destroys and eggs of both mites and lice. It's the caprylic acid in it. Also continues to repel them and soothes their skin and promotes healing. I treated my hens today after receiving the 9 ml bottle of Elector PSP from your store. Thank you!

It's not true that bird mites can't transfer to humans. A 50 yr. old active Ravens nest was cut down and left on the ground for a week, ... The mites found me, my home, everything in it and my cat. It's worse than a Steven King movie. I don't know how to get rid of them. Help?
