S76 will kill red mite, northern mites, air sac mites, feather mites, blood parasites, blood sucking lice, flies and
roundworms.
There will be a noticeable increase in both noise and activity level days after S76 is administered, even if air sac
mites were not present in your birds.
Air-sac mites live in the respiratory tract of birds. Two species that are most susceptible to these mites are Gouldian Finches and Canaries.
To ensure the complete cycle including the nymph stage of the mite is killed, a 3-4 week course of treatment is required. These immature forms become active when the bird is ill, stressed or during hot weather.
The problem can appear suddenly and spread throughout the flock quickly.
Regularly scheduled treatments should be maintained to keep the adult number of mites under control as large numbers of adult air-sac mites killed off at the same time may cause a blockage in the respiratory tract, which can cause suffocation.
Air-sac mites are transmitted through direct contact of adults feeding regurgitated food to their young and also through courtship feeding between adults. Research suggest that transmission of this mite
occurs by adult non-pregnant females that migrate out of the nares (nostrils) onto the head plumage and eventually into a new host.
Therefore, a complete cleaning of the nest, cage, aviary and environment
must be done on the 2nd day of S76 treatment with a good avian pyrethrum based insecticide (Vetafarm Avian Insect Liquidator).
S76 is a combination of Ivermectin and homeopathics.
It is a truly remarkable product because of its multipurpose action. It is added to the drinking water as a means to also kill roundworms, hairworms, blood parasites (microfilaria), blood sucking lice, mites and
flies. It may also be added to the bath water to kill feather and other non-blood sucking mites that are protected from insecticides.
Symptoms of Air Sac Mites:
Loss of voice, Coughing, Sneezing, Wheezing, Raspy wet noises or clicking
Treatment: Remove all other water sources including greens, fruits and vegetables on the days of treatment with S76.
Remove all drinkers the night before each S76 treatment. Using this technique will prevent the birds from drinking in the morning before you have a chance to place the S76 in their drinking water.
Mix S76 Fresh each morning. Only mix the amount you will need for the day. S76 is potent for only 7 to 8 hours once mixed in water.
