Barrier Scaly Leg Mite Spray is an effective deterrent against scaly leg mite.
For use on Chickens, Turkeys, Game and Cage Birds.
Scaly Leg Mite cause pain and intense irritation for the bird as they burrow under the scales and into the skin of the legs and sometimes the comb and wattles. Check for the tell tail signs of crusty, white deposits on enlarged, rough and lumpy legs where the scales have become raised. Scaly Leg Spray repels mite, whilst soothing and calming irritation. Will not taint eggs. Suitable for use in organic farming systems. Use regularly for ongoing maintenance and where infestation exists. HSE 8842.
Scaly Leg Mite affects birds of all ages, although older birds and feathered leg breeds tend to be more susceptible. Affected birds should be isolated and all housing cleared and thoroughly cleaned.
Caused by Cnemidocoptes mutans and evident as tiny white spherical creatures with a diameter of less than 0.5mm Scaly Leg Mite is difficult to spot in the early stages. For this reason we recommend you use Scaly Leg Spray as a deterrent as well as to treat an existing problem.
This product falls into the exempt category of products which use only plant oils as active ingredients, as listed in Annexe IIB (Pesticides) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (as amended) and is therefore suitable to use in organic systems.
Spray the legs generously from the hocks down. Scaly leg mite can also attack the comb and wattles. For small birds - Apply 1-2 trigger pulls of product per leg. For average sized birds - Apply 5 trigger pulls of product per leg. For large birds - Apply 10 trigger pulls of product per leg.
Spray the legs, comb and wattles directly and evenly (avoid eyes) and repeat every 5–6 days to break the egg cycle.
