Dr Rob Marshall S76 In Water Bird Mite Treatment - 250ml

If you have lots of birds making it almost impossible to catch, then S76 is for you!
S76 is administered via the drinking water, which is the most convenient and effective method for treating individual or flock birds against bird mites, so no need to catch your birds and stress them out unnecessarily!

For use with Pigeons of all ages and being particularly useful for juveniles, breeding pairs, 100% safe for young in the nest, during the moult and does NOT effect fertility what so ever!

S76 for all mites, red mite, northern mite, air sac mites, feather mites, blood parasites, blood sucking lice, flies and roundworms.


Mites have a life cycle of at least 3 weeks so to ensure the complete cycle including the nymph stage of the mite is killed, a 4 week course of treatment is required

Symptoms of Air Sac Mites:
Loss of voice,
Coughing,
Sneezing,
Wheezing,
Raspy wet noises or clicking

• For the initial treatment you give S76 for 3 consecutive days for the first week eg Saturday, Sunday, Monday 

• and then repeated for 2 consecutive days each week (eg sat, sun, sat, sun, sat, sun ) for a further 3 weeks 

Please only use as instructed, by adding more than stated or giving S76 more often will not help your bird/s any quicker and this is why treatment needs to be spread out over a course of 4 weeks to ensure the whole life cycle of the mite is killed.

• 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. Also remove all other water sources including greens, fruits and vegetables on the days of treatment with S76.

• Mix S76 Fresh each morning. Only mix the amount you will need for the day as S76 is potent for only 7 to 8 hours once mixed in water

As mites are very persistent a complete cleaning of the nest, cage, aviary and environment must also be done on the 2nd day of S76 treatment with a good avian pyrethrum based insecticide (Vetafarm avian insect liquidator), simply spray this in and around all the cracks and crevices where mites will be hiding in the birds housing.

Prevention / Preventative Plan: 

A routine preventative plan is introduced after the initial 4 week treatment.
S76 is administered for 2 consecutive days each month to Juveniles (Summer & Autumn) and Adult birds during the moult (Winter & Spring).

S76 is given 1 day each month to breeding birds as prevention and for 2 consecutive days each month when ambient temperatures are above 22 degrees (Spring/ Summer) for an immediate and important sustained energy source to help accelerate recovery.
For birds housed outdoors in the winter months, treatment can be done every 3 months.
Recommended treatment schedule for birds housed outdoors or eating a diet containing live foods is `in water` for one day each month.

Birds can also Bathe in S76:
S76 may also be added to the bath water on the same days as the in the drinking water, to kill external feather parasites and other non-blood sucking mites that are protected from insecticides. However, as previous a good Avian Insect Spray must also be used throughout their environment on each of the 2nd day treatment of S76 

It is then advised to be followed up several days later with a KD Water Cleanser bath (Dr Rob Marshalls KD Water Cleanser). This second bath will remove all the dead mites and help promote lustrous clean feathering.

S76 is also effective for Scaly Face and Leg mites.

Scaly Face and Leg mites
S76 is effective in treating Scaly Face. The mites develop a honey comb appearance when they burrow around the face and a tassel-like appearance when they burrow on the feet and legs.

Scaly Face Treatment:

Apply undiluted S76 directly to the affected skin using a Q-tip each day for one week (same day that S76 is added to the drinking water) until all signs of mite have disappeared (recovery varies from 2-8 weeks depending upon the severity of infestation. 

Keep away from eyes & nostrils. 
Also on the same schedule apply S76 to the drinking water. 

Because scaly face & leg can be nutritional and weak gene based, reassess the nutrition of the bird.
