Duo Anti Mite Bath Mixture 2.5 l
Concentrated additive for bath water for pigeons, chickens, and aviary birds in a 2.5-liter container – the right size for regular use throughout the season. The mixture from Traseco combines diatomaceous earth and silicon dioxide with oregano extract, tea tree oil, and citric acid, ingredients that are traditionally used in poultry keeping for feather care and accompanying coop hygiene.
Application and dosage
Shake well before use, then stir into the bath water.
-
For regular care: approx. 20 ml per 1 liter of bath water, twice a month
-
For increased needs: approx. 40 ml per 1 liter, once a week
-
For heavy needs: approx. 60 ml per 1 liter, twice a week for three weeks
According to the manufacturer, the diluted mixture can also be used to fog cracks, joints, and areas under the nests – where the red bird mite stays during the day. Prepare fresh bath water, offer it in the morning, and remove it afterward.
Ingredients
Water, diatomaceous earth, silicon dioxide, oregano extract, tea tree oil, citric acid.

Notes
- Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on the label; do not exceed the dosage.
- Store in a cool, frost-free place out of reach of children.
- In cases of severe mite infestation, a bath additive alone is not enough: the red bird mite lives in the environment, not on the animal. The effective solution is a combination of mechanical cleaning, treatment of cracks, and – as a biological long-term solution – predatory mites in the loft.
