Hi Folks

Discovered today that I have the dreaded red-mite. >:( I'm out of poultry shield and can't get hold of any for a couple of days and need to get this sorted asap because I am back in work on Monday and won't be able to get the coop dry by hen bedtime if I do it after work. I do have Virkon S. If mixed to the correct dosage can it be used in a slurry with DE instead of poultry shield? If not I'll spray with Virkon S tomorrow and DE it next weekend when the Poultry Shield arrives.

Cheers

Helena

yes you can but I would still order poultry shield. Until then paint the slurry all over especially in all the nooks and crannies.
Staffies are softer than you think.
