Formulated with pyrethrins for rapid knockdown, this spray targets feather mites and lice on contact, helping relieve irritation and restore comfort quickly.
🏡 TREATS BIRDS & THEIR ENVIRONMENT 🏡
Not just on the bird, it works across coops, cages, perches, and nesting areas, helping eliminate hidden eggs and prevent reinfestation.
💧 READY-TO-USE & EASY APPLICATION 💧
No mixing required. Simply spray directly onto birds and surfaces for a quick, convenient treatment that fits easily into routine flock care.
Before use, remove all food and water from the cage or treatment area.
Hold the spray bottle approximately 30–40cm away from your bird and lightly spray directly onto the feathers, ensuring even coverage. Avoid spraying near the eyes, beak, and face.
Thoroughly spray the coop, cage, perches, nesting boxes, and surrounding areas, as mites and lice often live and lay eggs off the bird.
Allow the area to dry before returning food and water. Ensure good ventilation during application.
Repeat treatment as needed until mites and lice are fully controlled. If issues persist, seek veterinary advice.
