Mix Cumbasil Mite with 1/3 potting soil. This imitates the natural structure of the natural soil and can support the acceptance, especially at the beginning of the acclimatisation. After successful acceptance, the potting soil can be dispensed with later.

As a matter of principle, one should avoid inhaling stable dusts. Therefore, the use of dust masks is recommended by the employers' liability insurance association.

Cumbasil Mite contains almost no nanoparticles. Therefore, the dust emission is significantly lower compared to ordinary natural stone flours. If handled carefully, Cumbasil Mite poses no danger to the user.

The acceptance of dust baths varies greatly. Experience shows that they are accepted within 1 - 4 weeks. The age of the animals, the number and the way they are kept determine this.

Depending on the mite infestation, a combination of mite control measures is very useful. Coating the barns with diatomaceous earth or using herbal extracts in the drinking water have proven effective.

The use of chemical control measures can also initially help the animals.

Durch die besonders gute Hafteigenschaft von Cumbasil Mite an Ektoparasiten wird ihre Mobilität der Parasiten massiv eingeschränkt. Das Gefieder wird für die Milben somit schwer zu durchdringen. Der Milbendruck im Stall wird so effektiv reguliert. Zudem wird der Staubanteil, durch die besonders gute Hafteigenschaft, im Stall geringgehalten.
