Total Hygiene Powder (300g)

Safeguard your flock and maintain a clean, parasite-free coop environment with Total Hygiene Powder (300g) by Chicken Health. Formulated as a high-potency, natural mineral powder, this essential poultry care product provides a dual-action defence against red mites, northern fowl mites, lice, and crawling parasites, as well as coop moisture buildup.

Red mite infestations cause extreme stress, severe anaemia, feather loss, and significant drops in egg production. Total Hygiene Powder addresses this by utilising a targeted, non-toxic physical action rather than harsh chemical pesticides. The fine mineral dust works mechanically by breaking down the protective waxy outer coating of crawling insects, causing them to dehydrate rapidly without allowing them to build up chemical resistance over time. Safe for direct application in the coop, nesting boxes, and dust baths, it acts as both a powerful parasite barrier and an effective moisture-absorbing disinfectant.

🐓 Why Choose Total Hygiene Powder?

• 🛡️ Fast Physical Action: Mechanically breaks down parasite protective layers, killing red mites, lice, and fleas without chemical resistance.
• 🏠 Dual Coop & Bird Protection: Can be applied directly onto housing surfaces, roosting bars, and dust bath areas or dusted lightly onto the flock.
• 🌱 Chemical-Free & Non-Toxic: Safe for laying hens, chicks, and waterfowl with zero egg withdrawal period required after treatment.
• 💧 Absorbs Coop Moisture: Natural desiccant properties absorb dampness in bedding, reducing ammonia fumes and discouraging fly activity.
• 🎯 Convenient 300g Shaker Bottle: Packaged in a lightweight, easy-to-use puffer shaker bottle for precise, low-waste application into tight cracks and crevices.

📋 Application & Coop Hygiene Guide

How to Apply:

1. Coop & Housing Application:

• Clean out old bedding thoroughly. Dust Total Hygiene Powder generously onto coop floors, roosting bars, felt seams, nesting boxes, and wall crevices where red mites hide during daylight hours.
• Reapply weekly or whenever bedding is replaced to maintain a continuous protective barrier.

2. Dust Bathing & Bird Application:

• Mix the powder directly into your flock's natural dust bath areas (sand or dry soil boxes) so birds self-treat while dusting their feathers.
• For individual birds with visible lice or mite pressure, hold the bird safely and apply a light dusting directly onto the skin around the vent, under the wings, and near the neck, rubbing gently beneath the feathers.

Critical Management Guidelines:

1. Red Mite Inspection: Red mites feed on birds at night and hide in wooden joints during the day. Apply powder heavily into cracks where perch ends meet coop walls.
2. Respiratory Care: As with any fine dusting powder, avoid creating excessive airborne dust clouds during application in enclosed spaces.
3. ⭐ Top Tip: Red mites thrive in warm, damp weather. Dusting the ends of perches and nesting trays weekly during spring and summer prevents small mite colonies from multiplying into a full-scale outbreak!
