Johnson's Anti-Mite and Insect Spray, Cutaneous Spray, Solution

Directions for use: Remove food and water before spraying. Avoid spraying from less
than 24” (60cm) on perspex or plastic cage materials, as adverse reaction may result.
Cage Birds: (e.g. Canaries and Budgerigars): Spray directly at bird in the cage from
about 24” (60cm). Avoid spraying into bird’s eyes. Use sparingly, giving 2 or 3 one-
second puffs only. For open cages, cover cage except front with a cloth and remove
it a few minutes after spraying. For cages containing several birds, spray into cage
from about 24” (60cm), in puffs of one-second, filling cage with light mist only.
Repeat every 3-4 days until infestation is cleared. To help prevent reinfestation, also
allow spray to fall on immediate surroundings where mites breed, e.g. cage surfaces,
perch ends, cracks and crevices.
Pigeons: Treat birds singly inside loft. Spray each bird for 4-6 seconds only
according to size. Spray lightly at rear of bird from about 15” (38cm), parting
feathers. Avoid eyes. Repeat every 3-4 days until reinfestation is cleared. Use
occasionally as a precaution, particularly after Racing or Showing. To help prevent
reinfestation, also allow spray to fall on surroundings e.g. baskets, fittings, lofts.
NOTE: most effective way of treatment: one person wearing rubber gloves holds bird,
protecting its eyes with one hand, while second person parts feather and applies
spray.
