Poultry Safeguard Concentrate | Appletons

Our best selling coop cleaner.
Voted the best solution to keep on top of Red Mite!

Red mites reproduce rapidly. These nasty bugs don’t live on your chickens but hide in the framework of your coop, perches and nest boxes, only coming out at night to feed on the blood of your birds. The result is your chickens become stressed, suffering anaemia, reducing egg production and even death if not treated.

Red mites are also very difficult to control, so Appletons have developed Poultry Safeguard which dissolves mites on contact. It’s also a powerful disinfectant, killing bacteria, viruses and odour in coops.
Appletons Poultry Safeguard is New Zealand made and best of all it is economical. It is a concentrate which you mix with water as you need it - you get approximately 50 litres of maintenance solution from our 1-litre bottles and as a mite treatment approximately 20 litres. Making it more cost-effective when compared to other similar available products.
Poultry Safeguard is a non-toxic blend of high foaming surfactants, sequestrates and alkaline builders and quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) which effectively dissolves waxy accumulations and is effective against a range of microbes (including Avian Influenza Virus, Avian Infectious Bronchitis and Newcastle’s disease) and micro-organisms including bacteria, mildew, moulds and fungi.
There is no egg withholding period which is great as you can let your hens back in to lay.
The ultimate solution to a mite-free hen house. No other cleaner does the job better!

Available in 500ml, 1L and 5L Concentrate bottles
