Folks, it’s a TERRIBLE year in terms of parasites. I hope you’re all staying bug-free out there and that these videos are helping! ❤🐔❤️
NOT HOLISTIC BUT practical: Sevin dust in very tiny amounts in the coop, bedding, or medicated dust baths works for me. Cheap, easy to purchase at a local store and I don’t put it outside the coop so it’s not affecting the bees 🙏 🐝 . Not organic, but for like $7 it was the only solution that was possible for me. Also when I spray the birds at night I use a spray bottle of water and like Dawn dish soap and kills mites and lice immediately, but if it is cool outside or you get the birds more than 50% wet or if they are young you will need to dry them so they don’t get sick (I.e. a hair dryer or heat lamp).
Im glad you use this product cause its what i decided against mites for some time.(only thing i think works) The only thing ive had issues was that the Elector ends up going to a solid state after some time in the bottle. I asked my vet about it and he said it was still ok and should be fine to use. I used it and seems to still work. so storing this correctly is important. Also i recommend the second treatment even though its a great product. Thank you for your help Prez of Chickenlandia!
We just found out birds have lice we have 50 chickens and 22 guineas, multiple coops but they all free range our 3.5 acres most days. Will this keep them from getting them right back? Also when cleaning coop do I need to throw away all the bedding. We did the deep litter method. Our biggest concern is killing our bees but we have straw everywhere.

Dahlia...WHERE did you buy your Electra PSP from? The prices I have seen are upwards of $214.00 w shipping!! Help!
I have a little flock of 7. I am the queen of Cluckingham Palace ... I live in England 😂
I love that name!!
Omg! I love that name! Absolutely brilliant 🖤
I love this name so much😂😂😂❤❤
That's hilarious. It's great.
What a cute name! I love it!
Your videos are always so bright and shiny...even when talking about parasites.
Chickenlandia is a treasure!
The Chicken Chick sells 9 ml bottles which will make a gallon of mixture of Elector PSP on her website for $20.
My grandmother's chickens lived with lice for years, it was normal back in the day , today things are getting better , thank God 😊
Thank you for making this comment. I just came in to research these bugs I just found on the queen. I was panicking! A little more research, then I’m off to the store for the elector psp and supplies. Tomorrow is gonna be a busy day
To take care of mites and lice in the nooks and crannies especially on roosts you can make a paste out of DE and water and take a putty spatula and stuff it in the crevices:) this has worked great for me when I had lice:)
I heard if DE gets wet it's no longer effective. Sounds like I got wrong information?
@@maren807 You got he right information.
I read wetting DE makes it completely useless and the dangers of breathing DE in is substantial.
@maren ur right. However, once it dries it functions the same again. Its naturally occurring in nature, and it gets rained on in nature.
Captain Jack's dead bug brew is the same active ingredient as Elector PSP. The ratio to mix it up is different though because it's not as concentrated as Elector. It's much cheaper to get your hands on treating the birds right away.
You dilute 1part cap jacks (.5%) to 4 parts water to get same concentration of spinosad as elector solution
And you apply it directly to the chickens like she did in the video? I don't have any problems that I know of but I'm gonna keep that in mind since I definitely wouldn't be able to afford the stuff she used.
@@nathanhale7444 Yes. Same application.
Unfortunately my bottle of Elector dried up and it did have an expiration date.
Thanks so, so much for this tip, every time i clean my chicken coop i have to clean it several times and it's so exhausting and laborious, I really want to get Elector PSP but can't afford, but I'm definitely going to buy Captin Jack's dead bug brew is there a specific one? I Google it and there is several Captin Jack's bottles. I really want to get the right one. But thank you so much for sharing this I greatly appreciate it. 😊
I have been so lucky and blessed. No parasites yet. Two years having chickens. But I am ready if it ever happens with all of your tips. Thank you.
You're so dedicated to the health of your feathered friends, it's wonderful to see
I was talking with a friend yesterday & she was telling me when she was a kid (we are in our 70's) they would get a bucket with lime and water, put the chicken in and soak them. She said they did this & they wouldn't have mites or lice for a long time. Have you ever heard of this?
You are awesome! I now look through your videos First before I Google any problems that arise around my poultry paradise. I adore your energy and the way you are with words, taking away that shame or fear of judgement when realistically we all go through these problems eventually... Rock on and never stop being your awesome self! 😉🥰🤪
There seem to be a few vendors who are selling smaller quantities of the Elector PSP online- like 10 ml or so for $20-25. This may be a good option for folks if they cannot afford the whole container which seems to start at about $155. Thank you for trying this stuff out- I have been working on the situation with all the best affordable remedies that I could find, and yet it is an annual thing. I'd just really like to make my girls comfortable.
I love watching your videos! You’re so uplifting and positive. When I’m feeling down, I’ll watch your videos and your positivity is contagious.❤❤❤
Yes I used the psp and it's pretty easy. For those who can't afford the bottle Springwater Avian Farm has it in like 2.5ml batches. It's where I got mine from and it's the same thing and cheaper.
Oooh that’s great to know!
@@WelcometoChickenlandia can i use vegetable oil or neem oil?
I tried neem and it helped a bit but not enough. @kingdavidson7430
Hi y'all. I live in S.E. Tennessee bordering the Georgia Line. I have 2 hoop coops attached with a mini "medic room" in between. Built on 2' of mulch with wire attached on bottom of coop (*predator proof from digging under coop*) and 3' of mulch on top. We built them ourselves. One is for my 11 hens, the other end is for my 7 roosters. (Don't know why people kill roosters). My boys are precious and follow me everywhere. They have attacked predators as there are large numbers of hawks where I live as well as feral cats, racoon and opossums. Most importantly, I decided to keep my boys to breed.
We're about to get a cold snap tonight. Never had the temperature go down below 50° this time of year but we're hitting 30° tonight. With my 11month old babies being in a 44' hoop coop I have to find some way to keep them warm during these next few days till our shed coop is completed. I went and purchased 4 clear shower curtains and I will be installing them today at the end of the roost in the girl's coop as their coop butts up with my mini "medic room" and the back of the boys coop where the boys roost. In doing this it will section off the roosting area of both coops so that they can hold heat in during these cold nights. Heavy duty tarps have covered the tops of the coops for rain and sun protection.
LUV YOUR VIDEOS🥚🐓🤠
HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU!!
Elector PSP is EGGCELLENT!!
I am HEAD MOMMA HEN of "JOURNEYS END" lol
Good point about how there's less opportunity for dust bathing in wet weather. My hens have not been bathing in their sand with DE mixed in because the run is wet. I had to treat my hens for bugs this week. I use a pyrethrin spray and applied it when they were sleeping. You are right, it is so easy to treat them when it's dark out.
We have a flock of 7 lavender Orpingtons and we use DE as their dust bath and we haven't had any issues with any bugs surprisingly. We check them every week just to be sure. We also said we wouldn't name them but we ended up naming them anyways. They are big beautiful birds, and we got lucky with only one rooster out of the bunch. Got them from tractor supply unsexed
I just love your videos! I've had just one infestation of mites in my flock of four Black Australorps, and after a lot of research, I chose Elector PSP from Valley Vet online. They were about $20 less in price than the other outlets I found, and I really appreciated that, since it is SO expensive. But I felt good about my purchase. It worked, only one application to the hens and their coop and we were done with mites. And I have enough Elector PSP on hand probably for the rest of the hen's life and beyond, so I won't have to worry about purchasing anything in the future. : )
It is expensive but had a problem this past Spring (Fall now) and found another chicken lover who was all over this treatment with rave reviews! So, I bit the bullet and got the least expensive I could find and we did without dessert that month 🤪 Wonderful stuff! I'm giving the coop a deep clean before I do my deep litter for late fall into winter (I'm in Maine) and giving the coop a spray again. It's not bad stuff and it can't hurt! Thanks President of Chickenlandia! I'm all subscribed today! Blessings from my coop to yours 🥰
We also use herbs in the (DE + sand dustbath) black rubber tubs. I also clean out the tubs every day with a kitty litter scooper.
بہت اچھی اور زبرست ویڈیو اپ کی مرغیاں بہت خوبصورت اور ہیلدی ہیں اللہ نظر بد سے محفوظ رکھے ❤❤👏👏💐💐💐
I spray monthly for mites and put D&E in coop also nesting box also 4 winter keep a kiddie pool full of sand and D&E 4 dust bathing. Right now I have hens with vent gleet so cleaning coop and brsting boxes over and over and treating them with a antibacterial spray 2 of them will not let me soak them for a,better treatment
Elector PSP is great! It's the only treatment I've ever used.
Do you ever sprinkle diatomaceous earth in the coop run and feed? I doand I believe it works really well. My cats and dogs and even me😄
I also used the elec psp. It worked awesome on the chickens then used the rest of product that was mixed to spray around the outside of the house. That really helped as well
I have 8 hens and they live in the
"COOP A CABANA"
Love those brooding boxes. First time to see them.
My ameribella’s are very talkative as well
I love your videos and if I am having an off day I will play several that I know will uplift me! Thank you!
Aww I’m so glad!
Scaly mites are so hard to get rid of. After months and months of dips, dusting and spraying the chickens I eventually painted the coop and oiled the roosting bars.They still don't have all their feathers back.PSP was one of the products I used but because of the price I only used it once.
The traditional method of applying a thick coating of Vaseline or Swarfega to the legs daily for one week will suffocate the mites and soften the scales.
i had 5 chickens and ended up getting rid of them to a farm because of flies and parasites. The files over summer were revolting, and the mites - wow - we got them in the house and that was crazy. No weekends away, its a big big responsibility. And the lice jump on you and you bring them in the house. I got rid of my birds, and my bedding. Never ever again. I appreciate all the hard work you do, but if you dont like bugs - dont get chooks
First silkies and my rooster started crowing then his earlobes turned white and swole up very large ! I had him to an exotic vet not silkie smart! Could not find ears but i came home and cut the hair and could see them very clearly ! No infection there! After almost 200 dollars and now about a month later i realizer it is mites of several kind and lice ! I have used all availabe to no avail so i ordered 166 dollars worth of elector psp! I hope to get him well! He had stopped eating cause of this and bullying he snd his mate of which i have in my home, i live in a small mobile home, he eats very little but 2 days ago he ate good ! I washed him good tonight and scrubed his ear lobe and the crest , wattles and beared ! He is sleeping good tonight ! I rinsed him with white vinegar!
Tomorrow i am dipping all eight of my birds and ill
Put them in coop til dry after i spray itgood! My other birds dust bath but these 2 beautiful black silkies havent started because they were too young, probably would now if they were outside! Just about 6 months now! !
BIG HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA (my chook pen is called 'Our Ladies after the school I went to. THANKS FOR THE INFO
The worst parasite problem we have ever had was the summer that we had FLEAS. That was such a terrible time.
Between 7dust and D-earth finally got rid of them.
I agree with you on treating 3 times at different intervals. According to various reputable sources, wait 10 days, then 7 days, then 5-4 days. When you stager supposedly you will be killing any eggs (parasites) that have hatched, the larval stage.
That winter had the WHOLE YARD treaded.
Have never had that problem since.
Every so often we do treat with ALL natural as a preventive.
Hello Dalia, even in the Netherlands you have fans😊.
I have been following you for some time now and think that you are very respectful and have a love for people and animals. Thank you for the information presented in a pleasant manner. You are a wonderful person!
I also have another question, I don't know if you have discussed that topic before: which essential oils can be used for chickens? When and how?
I look forward to your reply, hope to learn more about it.
Kind regards from the Netherlands 🇱🇺
Thanks for this! I’ve heard this is a great product, but have been reluctant to try it because of the cost. Now I feel like someone I “know” says it works! 😊 Thank you!!
Omg 🤣😆 “I’m going to show you, how to end, their stupid lives!!” I cracked up SO hard at this 🤣😆 love it ❤️♥️
Dust bath question: mammal parasites live in cool damp soils/sand. Should dust bath be located in dry sunny area so parasites don't thrive in the cool or moist "dust" ?
Cant wait to spray down my coops this weekend
I love your energy its so positive and uplifting. I just bought your book too!
I’ve done some research on Elector PSP…
it seems that there are other products containing the same active ingredient as Elector PSP (Spinosad) that are much more affordable (and MUCH LESS concentrated).
I haven’t tried any of them, so I can’t actually recommend them, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t be just as safe and effective as Elector PSP when diluted to achieve the same concentration of active ingredient.
Care should be taken to dilute the alternate product to the correct effective working solution.
Elector psp was the only thing that worked for my flock...I was constantly treating with other stuff and those STUPID bugs kept coming back. I spent more money using the cheaper stuff!
Sevin dust works great in small amounts like mixed in bedding or nesting materials or in medicated dust bath all in addition to DE.
I use Sulfur powder. It is an anti-fungicide.
Hahaha, great smells are nearly a spiritual experience, I agree! I added those herbs to my Amazon list. You must have a sensitive sense of smell like I do. Question: we will be getting pullets instead of chicks, do you have a video about "gentle-ing" them and getting them used to being handled? I did a search on your channel but didn't see anything; however I wasn't really sure which search terms to use.
How it is different from organic spinosad for gardening?
I love all the critters too, but agree: no quarter for flies, lice, mites or skeetters!
I’ve been using neem oil, spinosad, and pyrethrums in and around my coops for years. All are used for organic gardening. Why are they charging so much for the active ingredient spinosad A and D?
I found someone on Etsy that portioned them out in one gallon doses and sells them for a reasonable price, which saved me. There is no way I could afford the price of a whole bottle right now but I really needed it so I ordered it from her the second I found it. She shipped it the next day and I just got it today so my son and I will be spraying the ladies down tomorrow evening. It drives me nuts that there are not very many health products out there for small flocks, especially considering how popular hobby farms and homesteading is now. Most of what I have had to use are for cattle and trying to reduce the dose from that of a cow to a chicken is really really confusing!
Goo is killing me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gosh. I am battling this now and lost two chickens to anemia. 😊
I’m so sorry! I hope this helps.
Mites have been HORRIBLE this year for us! In fact, I'm building a new coop that I am going to try and eliminate as much mite hiding places as possible! I used Elector PSP, DE, power washed my coop!! Nothing was working 🤬🤬
And I will be proactive next year. This is my first year with a backyard flock ❤❤
I kinda let things go this year so I have to get back into being more proactive!
We've been dealing with red mites. We've tried all those things as well and STILL have mites. So frustrating.
@@angies.7255 It is! I hate the thought of them crawling all over my girls 🤬😥. I hope you can get rid of them soon.
I have red mites which I had 3 years ago. Still have PSP left over, stored inside, didn’t work. It killed a lot of them but they’re still crawling around. I pulled all the perches out, sprayed, checked an hour later, sprayed again. It’s been two weeks and they’re still alive on the perches I have on the opposite side of the property away from the coop!!! Sprayed the whole coop, treated chickens with Ivermectin cause red mites don’t live on the chickens. Double stick tape at the end of the new perch and I’m still finding them in the tape. Spent 2 days pressure washing, caulking all the tiny crevices and painting the coop 8x8, I’m sure I still have them.
Thank you Madam President 😊
Congratulations on the surprise Buba babies.
I generally do not join things but I joined your web site. I like what you are doing and have a ton of respect for your opinion
Hi. Thank you for your video! Do you know if it’s safe to put elector PSP on four week old chicks?
I am giving this a try on my sweet rooster and six hens. Note to others giving it a try: wear clothing you can get greasy because they'll shake their little legs after their dunk and get it all over you, even at roosting time. I found an empty oxyclean bucket for the oil, and it was the perfect size & depth. However, their roost area is now covered in grease and unfortunately attracting flies due to the added moisture & oil content; the crazy high heat & hoUmidity we're having in May (TX) isn't helping with the slight smell of it either. What to do about that oily roost area? I've scattered StallDry on the roosts to help soak it up. Always something to keep us busy in the coop, isn't there? Thanks for any further tips you might have Dahlia, I enjoy your posts!
Awesome video. I have learned so much from watching your videos! I'll have to remember that stuff if I should get an infestation. One application seems worth the price for sure.
Great videos with great positive energy!
We named our rooster Zorro 😆 He was a rescue and he’s the sweetest thing
Fleas and ticks are my special targets.
Binky is soooo adorable 😍
One of my hens, Momo, got scaly leg mites. They are horrible, but we have been working hard to get rid of them.
I love your gingerbread necklace 😊
i use it too, it works great
Where do you find those nesting bx's I'm thinking those may help keep the chickens from eating their eggs?
I do have a few questions that I hope you can help and answer for me pretty please…Once I dilute the Elector PSP in water how long does it last in the spray bottle? Do I have to use it all immediately? Would it go bad in weeks or months?
I am planning to put in a spray bottle just like seeing it on your video and directions. Can it be in a plastic spray bottle or does it have to be dark glass? Loving all your videos 100% I cannot wait to get a reply from you if I may :) :) I Love your joy, positivity, smile, laugh and so much more really brightens anyone's day.
New subscriber here 👋 great videos! Thank you! I have a chickens that I got as adults. They had chicken lice when they came to me. I've tried diatomaceous earth and that helps but I still see some on my girls. I want to try this product that you recommend. But I can't find any information on whether or not there is an egg withdrawal time? Do you know?
No egg withdrawal! :)
Yay! Thank you so much!!
Thank you- I'll get a bottle! 🐔❤
can a human get it from a chickern, dog or cat?
so do you quarantine new foul to your farm? if yes, for how long?
So I already know everything has to be removed and treated for early stages of mites. What about their dust bath do I need to scrap it and start over?
I wish we could get this in Canada. It’s hell trying to find anything to help rid them of internal and external parasites. A lot of the stuff I do try may help to reduce numbers but it never eliminates it and I’m back a month or 2 later trying to rid them again 😔
Good information
Will the Elector spray work to kill Southern mites as well? We heard that different mites need different treatment. Is that true?
Any suggestions for stick tight fleas??? I just got hens last spring and raising them organically, but this year I'm struggling with these danged fleas. I've cleaned the coop, burned the bedding, treated the coop (with natural things like DE and ash as well as natural organic sprays), as well as treated the girls with everything I could afford naturally. Then I got desperate and did what I didn't want to do and bought traditional poisons to try to kill them. I've seen a little improvement after the treatment, but within less than a week the reinfestation is back.
Is this OK for dogs, cats,etc. ??
I truly appreciate you!!! Want to have a glass of wine and talk chicken or not what ever? Let me know..on a hill in the south!
Oh I do the same with dragonflies if there caught I set them free they fly on my finger all the time I'm getting a new chickens house built I'm so excited most of the stuff I got is free metal we got from a friend and I want to make sure there new home is pest free of bugs m Going thur it still coitus my turkey has had diarrhea for a long while now I used a whole bottle of medicine it still didn't work
Can you add rosemary, lavender herbs into your nesting box without buying a specialty herb mix?
What bedding do you use in your coop?
Can you put the old bedding in your compost pile or would you need to throw it away due to the mites/lice being in it?
Someone told me I should burn it, but afterthought I put it in my compost. Mites and lice need a host they can suck blood from. Do your chickens scratch the compost pile? If not, compost it, if they do, burn it, then compost it.
I love your vid 😊😊😊😊
Can you eat the eggs when treating them with psp?
I have two hatchlings about a month old now. I think one’s a cockling. How can I integrate my babies into the flock. Especially if the one is a cockerel. I have a polish cockerel-his dad. But he’s not privy to the babies rob because he’s soo young. 8 months.They are with their mamas. One each, they share.
Hi I just love watching you! I also live in pnw. I’m in Port Angeles. I need your help, I have never dealt with scaly leg mites. All my chickens look good except one. She has something going on. I want to attach picture, but site won’t let me the outside of her legs are all red, like something is rubbing on her legs. Please help!! Thank you
Has anyone experienced solidifying of Elector PSP, even in a controlled environment?
how do i get rid of the nits, I have tried everything
I'm a newby, coop is being built... I am watching this video wondering a few things. Should I paint the inside of coop ? Would that help with the cracks and crevices? Also, you have flooring down. Is that something I should consider as well?
I heard Orange Guard was good and safe also.
I’m going to ask a stupid question, but does duck get lice or mite’s. 🤔😊
I am just starting with chickens, mine are 5 weeks old. My coop and run are new. Would it be a good idea to spray just to start with...
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️🐔
Thankyou. I've never heard of this product in Australia before but I will explore where to find it. 🌿 I'm wondering if you've tried using ivermectin "pour-on" on your chickens? (Just a few drops on each chicken)
And also NEEM OILspray for the coup? (Or on chicken) 🌿🙏🌿🌟 plus, if you grow your own wormwood, mugwort, lavender, lemon balm - these are all great to shop and dry to make your own special blend of bedding herbs 🌿🙏🌿
Sadly this product is not available in Canada, If someone knows how to get them, please share your experience. Thanks!
By thorough cleaning of a coupe use bleach or Pine-Sol and then treat with the PSP? I'm going to be treating Birds by myself I wish I had help but such as life you don't always get it. I plan on spraying the PSP everywhere in the coop every surface.
As far as dust baths go, is it safe to put a dust bath in the coop their Chicken Run is not covered and there's summertime dust bath is a wet and muddy muck pit right now as a result my chickens got lice they have bare bottoms
My four chickens still run from me.. I can’t imagine being able to pick one up. They are only 14 weeks old but I would love to just hold them..
I'm going to have concert for my new floor and metal walls
You should start a bee colony.
