Diatom Residual Red Mite Control 2kg

This product can no longer be purchased from Farmacy.

Product Description

15kg out of stock with no due date. 2kg still available.

  • Use in conjunction with Poultry Shield to give maximum control
  • Prepared from the fossilised remains of ancient shelled creatures and so is totally inert - and safe to humans and animals
  • Red mites hide during daylight hours, emerging at night to find their hosts
  • They multiply rapidly - each adult mite will lay upto 100 eggs per day
  • Seven days after being laid, each egg can become an egg laying adult!
  • They are protected by a waxy outer shell. It is this shell that Diatom breaks down
  • Begin treatment before signs of mite are seen - once visible to the naked eye the problem is much harder to control
  • Scatter a handful of diatom around the perch and nesting area - at a rate of 50gms per square metre
  • Repeat once or twice per week depending on level of infestation
  • New lower application rate of 10g/m²
