Keep your poultry housing clean and protected with Barrier Animal Health Red Mite XPEL 500ml.

Red mites hide in cracks, crevices, nest boxes and perches during the day before feeding on poultry at night. Barrier Red Mite XPEL has been specially formulated to target these hiding places by providing an effective natural treatment for poultry housing.

The concentrated formula contains a synergised tropical plant extract blended with carefully selected herbal and essential oils. It works using a physical mode of action, helping to immobilise red mites and other insect pests by breaking down their protective wax coating, causing dehydration while avoiding conventional chemical insecticides.

Barrier Red Mite XPEL is suitable for treating:

• Chicken coops
• Poultry sheds
• Nest boxes
• Perches
• Walls and floors
• Cracks and crevices
• Other poultry housing

This product is intended for treating poultry housing only and should not be applied directly to birds. For direct treatment of birds, Barrier recommends using its Red Mite Liquid Concentrate or Red Mite Powder.

The highly concentrated formula is diluted with water at 1 part concentrate to 20 parts water, with one 500ml bottle producing around 10 litres of ready-to-use solution, making it economical for routine poultry house maintenance.
