Our bundle enables you to use Anti-Red in combination with Androlis predatory mites for optimal control of the Red Mites and maximum protection for your Poultry and Birds. With the Anti-Red weakening the parasites every time your birds drink, and the Androlis predators consuming the mites as they fall off the birds, you should see a rapid reduction in infestation levels.
Our bundle is also priced at a discounted rate for the combined products, enabling you to trial both products at once, and receive the best possible protection for your birds, with a monetary saving to boot!
The Red Mite, or Chicken Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) is a nasty parasite of birds; and particularly of poultry and chickens. The mite feeds on the blood of the birds, which causes stress and anaemia. These symptoms can become so severe that they lead to increased pecking, and in some cases, cannibalism. Chickens may also produce a decreased egg yield. Chemical treatments are difficult and largely ineffective as they mostly only target adult mites.
Androlis predatory mites will feed on the Red Mite and Northern Fowl Mite. They kill all stages of the parasites from egg to adult. Androlis is easy to use and 100% safe for the birds, the environment and humans.
Androlis predators feed on the Red Mites once the mites have fed and fallen off the birds. The Androlis mites do not go onto the birds themselves.
Androlis should be applied to the floor of chicken coops, next to roosting areas or directly into nests. The Androlis will then seek out the harmful mites and consume them. Androlis can be applied preventively or curatively.
Please note that if you have applied Diatomaceous Earth to your coup we recommend you wait 3 weeks before applying Androlis as this substance can be harmful to the predators.Other chemical insecticides can have long lasting residues that could harm the Androlis for longer periods. Refrain from using these products or check with Dragonfli for information on the effect of these products.

If you are particularly allergy prone and concerned about the potential effects of our mites please contact your local GP prior to purchase. Please note that allergic reactions to our mites are extremely rare.
