There are times when you want to carefully measure things.
Finding bugs on your chickens is not one of them.
Martin's Pen & Poultry Spray comes premixed and ready to use for controlling mites and lice on poultry and in their housing. The adjustable trigger switches between a fine mist for treating birds and a stream for targeting labeled areas around the coop.
Point. Spray. Follow the label.
Okay, technically that's three things. But none of them involve measuring pesticide concentrate.
Martin's Pen & Poultry Spray contains 0.50% permethrin and is labeled for controlling mites and lice on poultry as well as treating their housing.
The two-setting trigger is what makes this one particularly handy. Use the fine mist setting for labeled applications directly on poultry, then switch to the stream setting when you need more targeted application around roosts and other labeled areas in the coop.
One bottle. Two ways to aim it. Several thousand unwanted tenants who need to leave.
This is a pesticide, so the label gets the final word.
Follow the current product label for application amounts, treatment areas, repeat treatments, personal protection, environmental precautions, storage, and disposal. Don't assume more is better. With pesticides, more is just more.
Avoid breathing the spray and avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Keep out of reach of children and follow all environmental precautions on the label.
And don't forget the coop. Mites and lice aren't necessarily hanging out only on the chicken standing in front of you. Follow the label directions for treating the poultry and their environment as appropriate.
Read the label, treat the problem, and evict the freeloaders.
