Looking into how to treat scaly leg mites and haven’t seen anyone mention elector psp which seems odd as it is an extremely effective one time treatment for mites and lice. I’ve seen info on petroleum jelly/tea tree ointment and Vick’s so was going to try one of those but didn’t know if spraying on the elector psp first would work or not?
Has anyone ever used elector psp for leg mites?

@azygous, was it you that have used it?
Yes, Elector works splendidly on leg mites, and it just takes one 10 minute soaking. No mess as with Vaseline and castor oil. Elector get the mite eggs, too. No egg withdrawal period, either.

Hi Azygous, what ratio of Elector to water did you use? I think I have read 9ml to one gallon for treatment of coop?
About two teaspoons per gallon of water is what I use. Be sure to use up all you mix since it loses effectiveness otherwise.

Thanks!!!
This is awesome, since I have several hens with scaly leg mites. Instead of spraying, you soaked their feet in solution? Is a gallon enough to soak feet? Wondering if I can use solution on all three or four who have? Thank you so much!
I reused the same solution on all my chickens when I treated for scaly leg mites.
Thank you very much for answering, and so quickly. Really good to know this will take care of the mites relatively easily.
