Fossil Shield Powder - The RED MITE Killer 250g - 5KG

What is it? Fossil Shield® is a fine powder made out of fossil plankton, a naturally occurring fossil of a single celled plant that settled on the sea beds ages ago. It has been treated to enhance its water repellent properties, hence keeping it active for many months.

How does it work? It has a purely physical effect on red chicken mites, causing them to dehydrate. Mites are immediately rendered harmless and die within a day of contact with Fossil Shield®. Fossil Shield® will also kill many other crawling insects . . .ants, cockroaches, silverfishes, woodlice, termites, mites, lice and fleas.

Application Amount.Typically, 1-4g Fossil Shield® per bird. The actual amount will depend on the type of house involved and the problems being experienced with red chicken mites.Pack Sizes Fossil Shield® comes in 4 sizes... 250, 500g,1kg bags and 5kg refill bags.

The applicators have directional puffer nozzles on them that aerate the Fossil Shield® allowing you to apply over the building. An Applicator is required for use with bagged Fossil Shield® as in effect you are buying "loose" Fossil Shield®.

Application Method - Red Mite live in cracks in between wood in your hen house, i.e. in-between cladding, where cladding meets baton, where perch meets the house, in the nest boxes etc.Fossil Shield® should be applied to create a barrier in between these Red Mite hiding places and where the birds sleep, so the red mite have to crawl through the powder to get to the chickens (their dinner!). So coat the batons, around the nest boxes, around the perches, etc. Withdrawal Period - None
