Show Kill Chicken Lice Hens that are Infested with body lice or feather mites cannot produce efficiently. One of the easy ways of ridding an Infestation of these pests Is to paint the roosts of the poultry house with nicotine-sulphate (black leaf 40) just before the birds go to roost at night. The heat of the hens will release re-lease the nicotine fumes and vermin on the birds will be killed. Body lice can be killed with one treatment, but the feather mites and red mites that harbor har-bor around the roosts may take two or three treatments. Examine a few of your birds. If they are lousy, kill the lice right now with this simple treatment. Prairie Farmer. |
