Mitex is a natural mineral powder that is an effective control against most types of insects and mites, including red mites, hog lice and grain weevils.
Insects and mites have a waxy protective layer on their body to prevent themselves from drying out.
Mitex is a made up from fossilised diatoms (algae). Diatoms have thousands of microscopic sharp edges, which can penetrate that waxy protective layer, consequently dehydrating and killing the insects and mites.
Mitex is a highly effective and safe way of controlling red mite infestation and disrupting red mite life cycle.
Not all DE are the same, we manufacture Mitex with high quality material to ensure safe and effective use.
FEMAS accredited.
Use at a rate of 15 – 30 g/m2.
Routine & Preventative Use
Remove all bedding and organic matter from the house and clean thoroughly.
Spread Mitex throughout the poultry shed, concentrating on ledges and around nest boxes so the mites have to move through it to access the birds.
Ensure to dust into the cracks and crevices as far as possible, especially around nesting areas.
Treat prior to bird placement and at 15-day intervals.
Infestation
Mitex can be safely applied directly onto the birds.
Hold birds carefully and dust through the feathers.
Following an infestation, repeat Mitex application every 3 – 4 days to ensure the life cycle of the mites are broken, and that any unseen, newly hatched mites are treated.
Making a dust bathing area containing Mitex is also recommended as this is their natural way of getting rid of pests and mites.
Once opened, ensure the bag is tightly sealed between use to ensure longevity of the product, and store in a cool, dry area away from heat and damp conditions.

Pre-harvest/Storage Buildings and Housing
Treat the fabric of the building/area or empty storage silo with a bucket or powder fogger at the rate of 10 g/m2.
Silo Storage of Grain
Mitex is used for surface treatment of stored grain.
Treat the top 30 cm with 200 – 600 g/m2 (approx. 1 – 3 kg/tonne (1 – 3 g/kg)).
To do this, add mix to the appropriate tonnage to cover the silo to a depth of 30 cm.
Floor Storage
Mitex is used for local or surface treatment of stored grain.
Treat the top 30 cm with 200 – 600 g/m2 (approx. 1 – 3 kg/tonne (1 – 3 g/kg)) and rake in.
Once opened, ensure the bag is tightly sealed between use to ensure longevity of the product, and store in a cool, dry area away from heat and damp conditions.

"Been using a mite powder for my girls for many years but this product, which I switched to a year ago, seems more effective for a fraction of the price."
