## Description

Prozap 1499540 Garden & Poultry Dust For Insects, 2 Lb

Review: Zapped the mites! - Had Northern fowl mites in henhouse in June 2015; knew they would spread quickly and multiply, if they hadn't already. Have always checked my hens on a weekly basis [or more often] for lice/mites and had not spotted any on chickens (35 hens), but when I reached into nest box where momma hen was trying to hatch out a dozen eggs at the back of the coop about two weeks ago, within seconds the tiny gray-colored mites climbed onto my hand and began crawling around. Knew I had to do something quickly about the mites because they can cause death to chickens due to anemia, and their biting must be miserable for the birds to endure. I ordered and kept a canister of this Prozap Garden & Poultry Dust on-hand for just such a time when I'd need it; that same day I discovered mites, my spouse and I completely cleaned out the chicken coop bedding/nest materials/floor material (straw/shavings/hay) and gently dusted momma and all around the interior floor of her nest box without removing all nesting material from under her as we didn't want to disturb her while hatching out eggs; I shop-vac'd EVERYTHING else from top to bottom. Sprayed dishwashing liquid and water mixture with a large back-pack-type wand-handled sprayer, applying the wet mixture to all walls, into nests, all the woodwork, window sills, doorways, around the base of the floor and all over the cement floor -- simply EVERYWHERE. Put on a face mask and donned some rubber-palmed gardening gloves and sprinkled this garden & poultry dust lightly onto damp roost poles and into cracks/crevices around windows and nest boxes and thoroughly rubbed it into boards everywhere I could reach. It seems to cling nicely to damp surfaces. I then put brand new nesting materials into boxes and lightly onto the surface of the floor. Also dusted all chickens as they roosted that evening (the friendlier the hens, the easier it is to apply powder to them). Happy to report that the mites didn't return on day #10, and to prove it to myself, I stuck my hand into the momma hen's nest box and held it there for about 1 minute, withdrew my hand and found zero mites crawling on my bare skin. As recommended, we repeated the process again on day #10, even though we feel the first application did the trick. Since then, momma hatched out 5 chicks and she has been moved to a new, clean nest box of the coop; her 21-day-old dirty nest box was cleaned out, sprayed with soap/water mixture, rubbed with a light sprinkling of this poultry dust while the woodwork was damp, and new nest box material was placed inside the box. NOTE: My neighbor who is at least 20-30 acres away from me reported losing 3 hens in three days due to Northern fowl mites, due to severe anemia. I'm no veterinarian or poultry specialist, but I do believe the key is to start treatment early and be sure the henhouse is thoroughly cleaned-out, dust your chickens, and repeat the process as recommended on canister of dust. Once you've got the mites under control, your birds will be happier and their combs & wattles will return to bright red and they will lay better! Good luck! It's hard work to do the job correctly, but well worth it.
Review: KILLED THOSE MITES! - What can I say, it's poultry dust. Had a hen with vent mites. It worked after the first application. I don't like using chemicals, with my chickens. We do everything organic, but diatomaceous earth, and bedding herbs alone, was not working. We clean the coop their roosting area and nesting boxes daily and she still picked up the mites, probably the yard. We have 5 chickens. Some people say that if you are raising organic chickens, to throw out the eggs for a month while using this chemical, others say to do it during a molt. The can says that it is food grade and that you do not have to wait. We were molting and production was already down, so I figured I's give it a try. The poor girl had picked all of her vent feathers out and she always had poo stuck to her bum. None of the other girls had ever had a sign of any problems, but I treated them all just in case. It was easy. I used the Pest Pistol mini duster and puffed up their backsides and under their wings, just in case. Easy peasy. Sure enough the one with the bum issue cleared up and quit picking overnight! Within a month her feathers had grown back in and two months later she is back to her healthy, "fluffy butted" self. Laying eggs daily. It is winter where I live. I changed out their bedding and I lightly treated the coop seams and corners, just in case. In the spring we will do our usual cleaning add diatomaceous earth and herbal treatment, but I will probably sprinkle a little of this in the corners once a year and treat them again during next years molt, just in case. She is soooo much healthier, shinier and seems happier now. We definitely aren't afraid to pick her up anymore! No more icky poo!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this kill lice on chicken as well?**
A: My girls had sticktight fleas. I used the dust and spread diamataceous earth on the hen house floor every time I clean out the hen house.    They will make your chickens sick and lay less eggs if you can't control them. I have not seen any lice or fleas on them since using this method.

**Q: Is there an egg withdrawal period for this product? My chickens have lice- I am hoping for a method that doesn't require tossing out 2 months of eggs.**
A: This product has no egg withdrawal according to the poultry vets on Chicken Vet Corner Facebook page:"Common Egg Withdrawal Times in the USLaura Chamberlain Pylman·Saturday, August 1, 2015. Approved Products for Laying Hens•Amprolium (Corid) - No egg withdrawal when used at labeled dose•Permethrin (Permectrin II, ProZap, etc) - No egg withdrawal when used according to label directions•Spinosaid (Elector PSP) - No egg withdrawal when used according to label directions•Hygromycin B (as a feed additive at labeled dose) -No egg withdrawal•Nystatin (as a feed additive at 100g/ton) -No egg withdrawalNot Approved (can only be used by veterinary prescription even when availabe OTC, consult your veterinarian for withdrawal times appropriate to your specific situation)•Ivermectin (any dose) -8 week withdrawal•Piperazine (Wazine) (label dose) -17day withdrawal•Oxytetracycline in water (800mg label dose) -14days for personal consumption, 8 weeks for sold eggs or known sensitivities•Tetracycline in water (Duramycin 10) (label dose) -14 days, 8 weeks for sold eggs or known sensitivities•Sulfamethazine (Sulmet) (full label dose) -21 days•Sulfadimethoxine (Albon) (label dose) -21 days•Tylosin injectable (Tylan) -8 weeks due to lack of studies•Tylosin orally -14 days at treatment dose (no withdrawal at approved feed additive dose)•Levamisole (Prohibit) -21days•Albendazole (Valbazen) -14days"

**Q: How long to kill lice?**
A: Don't know since I haven't had to use it yet. Bought it as part of my chicken first aid kit.

**Q: Can I use this product on wild birds in my yard? I have small sparrows that like to rub themselves in the soft dirt to rid their parisites .**
A: My experience is wild birds have bugs and bugs that eat bugs lol. & like you said dirt. I can't imagine how you would apply it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bug killer
*by A***D on July 13, 2025*

I use this on my poultry, the only thing I don’t like is the smell. The powder flys into the air when dousing the chickens so it tends to be all over and don’t smell the best. But it is effective and keeps bugs away
