Biogance Organic Antiparasite Spray for Birds-Chickens-Turkeys -250ml

The Biogance Organic Antiparasite Spray is a popular choice for poultry owners who want to avoid harsh synthetic chemicals while keeping lice, mites, and ticks at bay.

Here is a breakdown of what this product offers and how to use it effectively:

Product Overview

• Target Species: Chickens, turkeys, ducks, and various ornamental birds.

• Active Ingredients: Typically formulated with Geraniol (derived from Palmarosa oil), which acts as a natural repellent by dehydrating parasites and blocking their respiratory tracts.

• Key Benefit: Being "Organic" (or eco-friendly/natural), it usually has no withdrawal period, meaning you can continue to eat the eggs laid by your hens during treatment.

How to Apply It

For the best results, you need to treat both the bird and their environment:

1. On the Bird: Shake the bottle well. Spray directly onto the feathers from a distance of about 20 cm. Focus on areas where parasites hide: under the wings, the vent (bottom) area, and the thighs. Avoid the eyes and beak.

2. In the Coop: Parasites like red mites hide in wooden cracks during the day. Spray the perches and nesting boxes after cleaning them out to create a repellent barrier.

    

3. Frequency: For an active infestation, apply once a day for 2-3 days. For prevention, a thorough spray once a week or every two times you clean the coop is usually sufficient.

Quick Tips for Success

• Night Inspections: Red mites are nocturnal. If your chickens are hesitant to go into the coop at night, use a flashlight to check for tiny moving dots—that’s when you’ll know exactly where to spray.

   

• Dust Baths: This spray works best as part of an integrated approach. Ensure your birds have access to a dry dust bath (mixing in some Diatomaceous Earth can help) to complement the spray's effects.

A quick note on safety: While it is organic, always monitor your birds for any signs of skin irritation after the first use, as some individual birds can be sensitive to essential oils.
