How this red mite treatment works
Home Shield is a strong adhesive silica-based suspension that dries to form a protective chalk-like coating on treated surfaces. As red mites move through the treated areas, the coating disrupts their protective outer layer, causing they to dehydrate and die through a physical process rather than chemicals.
The result is a powerful red mite treatment that stops infestations quickly and continues protecting the coop for 3-10 months depending on conditions.
