{"product_id":"red-mite-concentrate-chicken-coops","title":"Goodbye Red Mite Concentrate","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoodbye Red Mite Concentrate is a concentrated poultry housing treatment developed specifically for chicken coops, hen houses, nest boxes, perches and other poultry accommodation. Diluted at 100ml concentrate to 900ml warm water, each bottle produces 1 litre of fresh ready-to-use spray for routine red mite management and poultry housing maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed mites are one of the most common and frustrating challenges faced by chicken keepers. These tiny parasites spend most of their lives hiding within the coop itself before emerging at night to feed on resting birds. Because they spend so much time hidden away, infestations can often become established before they are discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed mites commonly hide inside perch ends, nest boxes, timber joints, roofing felt, hinges, cracks and crevices throughout poultry housing. Many poultry keepers first become aware of a problem when birds appear restless at night, reluctant to enter the coop, develop pale combs, reduce their egg laying or simply seem uncomfortable during warmer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've spent any time researching red mites, you've probably come across every remedy imaginable. Cooking oil on perch ends. Washing up liquid sprays. Homemade mixtures from the kitchen cupboard. Some poultry keepers even swear by hairspray, heat guns and other creative solutions. The trouble is that red mites don't read internet forums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoodbye Red Mite Concentrate was developed to offer a more practical approach. Combining high levels of \u003cstrong\u003eAzadirachta indica seed oil\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003ethymol\u003c\/strong\u003e, the formula can be mixed fresh and applied directly to the cracks, crevices, perch ends and nest boxes where red mites actually spend most of their time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike ready-to-use products that may sit diluted for months, Goodbye Red Mite is supplied as a concentrate. This allows poultry keepers to prepare fresh spray immediately before use, helping maximise the performance of the aromatic and phenolic plant compounds whilst reducing storage space and unnecessary packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperienced poultry keepers understand that successful red mite management rarely relies on a single application. Because red mites progress through multiple life stages including eggs, immature stages and adults, many poultry keepers choose to carry out a second application approximately 7 days after the first treatment as part of their wider management programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, focus application on perch ends, nest boxes, roofing felt, timber joints, cracks, crevices, hinges and other sheltered areas where red mites are known to hide between feeds. After all, treating the coop is often just as important as treating the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany poultry keepers also incorporate simple monitoring techniques into their routine. One popular method is rolling up a piece of corrugated cardboard and placing it near perch ends or nesting areas. After a few days, unroll the cardboard and inspect inside. Red mites often use the folds as a hiding place, making it an easy way to monitor activity and identify potential problems early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoodbye Red Mite works particularly well as part of a complete poultry housing management programme.
