Equimins Country Living Dy-Nomite Red Mite Powder (500g)

Eradicate persistent coop pests and protect your flock’s comfort naturally with Equimins Country Living Dy-Nomite Red Mite Powder (500g). Specially formulated using high-purity natural mineral dust (Diatomaceous Earth), this powerful physical parasite control powder offers an effective, chemical-free defence against red mites, northern fowl mites, lice, fleas, and crawling insects.

Red mites feed on roosting birds at night, causing severe stress, anaemia, feather picking, and sharp drops in egg production. Dy-Nomite addresses this through a mechanical, non-pesticidal action: its microscopic abrasive mineral structure breaks down the protective waxy outer coating of crawling parasites on contact, causing them to dehydrate and die rapidly. Because it works physically rather than chemically, mites cannot build up immunity over time. Completely safe for direct coop application, dust baths, and bird dusting, it keeps housing hygienic with zero egg withdrawal period required.

📋 Application & Flock Care Guide

How to Apply:

1. Coop & Perch Application:

• Clean out old bedding thoroughly. Dust Dy-Nomite generously over roosting perches, timber joints, nesting trays, and wall crevices where red mites hide during the day.

2. Bird & Dust Bath Application:

• Mix into your flock’s natural dust bathing area (sand or dry soil boxes) to encourage self-treatment.
• For individual birds with visible lice or mite pressure, hold the bird securely and apply a light dusting directly onto the skin beneath the feathers around the vent, under the wings, and near the neck.

Critical Management Guidelines:

1. Spring & Summer Prevention: Apply weekly during warm weather months when red mite populations multiply exponentially.
2. Respiratory Care: As with any fine mineral dusting powder, apply close to surfaces to avoid creating dense airborne dust clouds in enclosed spaces.
3. ⭐ Top Tip: Focus application heavily on the ends of perches and under nesting box trays. Dusting these key contact points weekly prevents small overnight mite colonies from turning into a full-scale coop outbreak!
