grrrrrrrrrrrrr mites

I have been avidly reading everyones advice regarding the dreaded red  mites. I wrote a few days ago (eggs) as my chickens haven't been laying at all. I am now giving them layers pellets all day and I have scrubbed and sprayed their hut and powdered the chickens with mite powder, I looked on one of my chickens tonight and low and behold, I saw a couple of mites on her. The directions on the powder say to use about every six weeks, is it safe to use after a couple of days? I'm itching now thinking of them.
I will scrub the coop out again at the weekend and spray. I read somewhere that someone used neat dettol.would this be okay, or should I use jeyes? Do I get it at a pet supply store? Sorry for all the questions but it's driving me nuts.
I love this site it's a great help.

Hi Rob
I didn't know there were different mites. These are tiny little pale red/orangy coloured things that are running around in their feathers. Would they stop them laying then, if that's what they are and what can I do?

Thanks

This is the sticky about parasites of all sorts. Hopefully you can identify them and find an appropriate method to get rid of them.

Keep us updated and if you can get a photo, it'd be good. I've had no personal experience of mites but many on here have.

  sorry.

Thanks Foxy.
