2017年6月15日 · For what it is worth, Sevin 5% is still on-label for veggies. And if you get a prescription for Sevin from a veterinarian Sevin is still OK to use. Cas, why do you say Permethrin is more effective? Sevin has been used since I was a kid, many decades ago. There have been a few cases where the pests have developed a resistance to Sevin, but very few.

2009年7月19日 · So, is sevin dust safe for chickens? Even what falls into their litter from treating them while on the roosts? Do you use sevin dust only when they actually have lice or mites or even just in case they do? Can you just sprinkle it on their back or something & they will get it spread around where it needs to go while preening and/or dustbathing?

2016年8月17日 · I used to use Sevin Dust on my chickens when I was a kid, with good results. I just moved back to the farm last summer, and the lice have been present, but not a problem, so I have not treated. I had a sick rooster (droopy) so I caught him to take a look at him. He had a REALLY bad lice load... so I went and found some old Sevin dust in the Garage.

I'm about to declare war on my rat infestation and checmical and nuclear weapons have not been taken off the table. I don't use it and avoid pesticides, herbacides, and fungicides but I'm

2008年7月4日 · One of the reasons I got my chickens is for earwig control. For outside the fence I bought some Sevin, because I figured if you can dust chickens with it, it must be somewhat safe to use around them. One night I came in from dusting outside the fence, and I decided to move a 2x4 that had been sitting in the same place for a while.

2020年5月6日 · I use seven dust. Works fine. I also dust the coop, nest boxes and thier dust bath areas with it. Haven't killed a chicken yet. Periodically I also use ivermectin pour on.

2012年12月3日 · Sevin dust kills lice right away, the active chemical is carbaryl. You have to redust your birds in 7-10 days to kill larva hatched from eggs. You also have to dust the inside of the coop and repeat again in 7-10 days.

2015年5月17日 · You are on the right track. By stripping and spraying the coop with Sevin and dusting the birds with Sevin or Poultry Dust you should be able to clear it up as long as you re-treat every 7 to 10 days until you stop seeing bugs. I would also add the garden/poultry dust to the bedding instead of DE.

2013年11月28日 · The coop and nest boxes have to be emptied of bedding, cleaned, and sprayed with permethrin. It's a pain, and much easier to try to prevent than to treat. Dust bathing areas with sevin or permethrin dust added, dirt, sand, and wood ash are good preventatives.
