Description
Exzolt® is a highly effective treatment for poultry red mite and northern fowl mite in chickens. Unlike sprays and powders, it works systemically – mites are killed when they feed on treated birds, including those hiding in the coop.
Exzolt® is given via drinking water, making it easy to use for backyard chicken keepers. Treatment consists of two doses given 7 days apart to break the mite life cycle and reduce reinfestation.
Safe for laying hens with no egg withholding period, Exzolt® is ideal for small flocks dealing with stubborn or recurring mite problems. Best results are achieved alongside basic coop cleaning and good hygiene.
Dose: 0.05 mL per kg of bird bodyweight per treatment day, mixed into drinking water.
mL product/treatment day = Total body weight (kg) of chickens to be treated × 0.05 mL
How much Exzolt® do I need?
Each flock is treated twice (7 days apart).
As a simple guide, most backyard hens weigh around 2–2.5 kg.

Using Exzolt® alongside other mite control products
Exzolt® targets mites on the birds themselves, while products like diatomaceous earth and disenfectant/cleaning spray help reduce mites and hiding places in the coop environment. Using Exzolt® together with basic coop cleaning and environmental treatments can improve overall control and help reduce the chance of reinfestation, especially in established or hard-to-clear mite problems.
