Get some "gold label powder" works a treat

OK foxy - we need a detailed description of your hen house routine, or you could write a book !  Seriously though, you clearly have a very effective routine, what's the secret to a mite free hen house ( or 11) ???:unsure:

I recently discovered a small infestation and as it was the weekend, I wanted to try and do something to eradicate the pests quickly.  I read on another thread here about spraying the house with neat Dettol.  It seems to have worked because I cleaned the house out on Wednesday evening and didn't see any evidence of live ones.  I rubbed down the likely hiding places but did not get any red bits.  It was very satisfying to see the little horrors trying to escape all the nooks and crannies when I was spraying and they seemed to just die once they crawled out.

Anyone tried predatory mites to control red mites?
