Abstract

The Red Mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, the one ectoparasite affecting the poultry industry globally, especially in the layer production causing immense economic losses and culture failures. This pest is seen to be viable for more than 6 months even in the empty sheds and cages, its different life history stages, causing different problems, making its control or eradication a next to impossible task. The most prevelant methods of control are synthetic pesticides, synthetic acaricides, sticky tapes and dust baths. The sticky tapes and dust baths are uneconomical, while the Chemical control of poultry red mites happens to be the most dominant, but the mites seems to have developed resistance to these acaricides and their toxicity affecting the nontarget organisms and the environment too. Hence there seems to be an increasing interest in the control and eradication of the Red Mites with the proposal of alternative control methods. The best alternative method being the use of the natural acaricides, the use of plant substances like essential oils with an add on of inert dusting powders, that have the capability of either repelling or causing death to the Red Mite. The all new Demiter technique delves into the understanding of the working of the phytogenic components, the essential oils and the inert dusting powder, that work three dimensionally, the mite develops gustatory avoidance, olfactory repellency and contact toxicity, both internal and external. This technique being safe, has proved efficacy without the development of resistance. Being economical, target specific alternative for the control of mite infestations, as rich sources of bioactive phyto chemicals that have various efficacies such as ovicidal, repellent, anti-feeding activities that provide fast assured and potent acaricidal efficacy with proven safety.
