Easy to use and has got rid of the lice that have been plaguing my rescue chickens since we got them months ago, it's the only thing that's worked!
Customer recommends this product
I use it on my birds regularly as some tend to get scaly leg. They free range a lot, so are bound to pick some things up from the wildlife. A few drops go a long way. Please note that there is an egg withdrawal period after use. That is fine - gives us a chance to catch up!

Product great but don’t bother paying extra for express shipping as it comes the sane time as standard shipping and the company fine with that!!!!

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Harkers Harka-Mectin, including answers from our team.
K Weave
Can this be given orally or only topically. My birds do much better with oral applications.
Harka-Mectin is a spot on treatment and should not be given orally. If you are looking for an oral medication for pidgeons that treats external mites then I suggest Harkers 4 in 1 Soluble which is administered via the drinking water.
Helen Brown
Will this be effective for grape worm in chickens?
This medication is only licensed for use in pigeons, any use in chickens is off license and we can only dispense for this alongside a written prescription from your vet.
Flubenvet or Flubendazole 1% will treat gapeworm and these are licensed for use in chickens. I recommend ordering this instead, these are over the counter.
Lewys Will it clear air sac mi
Will it work for air sac mites in budgies
This product is only licensed for use in pigeons, if you are looking for a licensed mite treatment in Budgies then I would recommend using Beaphar Anti Parasite spot on Small (Canary/Budgie).

Can this be used on chickens.for red mite?
Red mites spend most of their time not on the birds, but in nooks a crannies near to where birds roost. It is better to apply a suitable product to the perches etc, but the Harka-Mectin will be effective against mites which climb onto the birds to feed.
