Description
It’s dust penetrating formulation breaks through to cracks andcrevices where mites harbour, controlling mites up to 48 hours faster than some alternative chemical controls. Birds do not need to be removed before application, but eggs should be removed and birds should not be sprayed directly.
Poultry red mite can cause various problems that lead to reduced growth rates of poultry and lower production levels of eggs by as much as 20%*. Poultry red mite can lead to lesions in meat, poor egg shell integrity and egg spotting.
Due to Harmonix® Poultry Red Mite’s physical mode of action, it offers fast control of mites and stops them in their tracks. This means birds are mite-free up to 48 hours faster than some alternative chemical controls. Harmonix® Poultry Red Mite is also exempt from biocides product registration and does not need certification for application or a vet prescription.
APPLICATION
Harmonix® Poultry Red Mite can be applied in poultry houses and broilers with birds present giving ease of application and avoiding stress caused to birds by moving them. It contains an advanced food grade cellulose polymer and penetrates dusty layers typically found within hen houses. It spreads deep into cracks and crevices that harbour mites. In addition to broilers and laying facilities, transport and transport equipment used to transfer pullet birds should also be targeted, as these are hot spots for poultry red mite transfer.
