Poultry Mites (Red Mites)—­These tiny parasites are poultry killers.  They do not live on the bodies of the birds, but in cracks and crevices of the building, coming out for their food.  They suck the blood from the fowls, weakening and often killing them.

Treatment—­Look around roosts and in cracks in warm weather and you are apt to see hundreds of mites.  Every week spray perches, dropping boards, sides of houses, and roof near perches with Pratts Red Mite Special; powder birds with Pratts Powdered Lice Killer, and also add this to the dust bath.

Depluming Mites—­Parasites that attack the roots or base of feathers which break off leaving bare spots.  Will quickly spread through an entire flock.  Usually found in spring and summer.

Treatment—­Separate all affected birds from the rest of flock.  Rub Pratts Head Lice Ointment on and around the bare spots every few days, until the mites have all been destroyed.  Spray houses, roofs, runs, etc., with Pratts Poultry Disinfectant.  Persistent treatment is necessary to get rid of these pests.
