Great stuff
This product works peefectly for applying Diatomaceous earth to your hen house, or even directly to your hens if necessary.The sprinkler lid means you can give the bottle a firm squeeze and it will 'puff' the Diatomaceous earth directly upwards, great for getting it up into the ceiling of the hen house, or into those little nooks and crannies where red mites lurk.I mix this stuff in with where my hens like to dust bathe, so I know they get a good covering of it.It's an effective prevention tool against red mites and the puffer bottle makes for easy application.

Diamotaceous earth indeed
Looks and feels like the diatomaceous earth I also buy at the local chicken feed store. This could be a convenient way to get it if you dont have a local feed supply / farm store nearby.

Single pack item - good stuff but expensive for this amount
Good stuff easy to use but be sure you know it’s 1 bottle not two . Previous review talks of handy two pack and this item is single . Top can also come off to refill from buying loose powder which is helpful!

Works well, non toxic to birds
I ordered this red mite killer not to actually deal with red mites, but I have been feeding the wild birds for quite a while, and unfortunately there a colony of ants seems to have set up home around the bird table. Being made to use around birds, and containing diatomaceous earth, this product was perfect to get rid of the ants, while not being harmful to the birds.I've applied it to the vase of the bird feeder, and sprinkled it all around that general area two days ago, this morning there were no ants, so I'm hopeful it's working.Overall its a fantastic product, you get a large bottle, with a flip top lid which gives you the choice to pour or sprinkle the powder depending which side of the lid you open, it seems to be working very well, and I'm happy to recommend it.
