"...after 2 days, I see an improvement in BoJangles beak. This S76 stuff is amazing! Thanks again for all your help. I'll definitely shop with you again. Your customer service is wonderful"
Gwenne August - Canada

"..just 24 hours since I added the s76 to their water. I am AMAZED at his recovery. He is full of energy, going to and fro adding nesting material, fending off other birds, and looking great. Can this be?"
Barbara Sheperd - GA

"..just to say how amazing is this stuff?? My birds were lethargic fat and lazy, but after 2 days dose, they are all as lively as crickets. I can't believe it's the same birds!"
Sue Walters - UK

"..I am writing to tell you how thrilled I am with the results of your product S76. I had nine lady Gouldian finches that were infected with air sac mites and I watched helpless, for several days as their health deteriorated. I came across your website while surfing the web and decided to try out the S76 which immediately improved the health of my birds. Now I can say, with confidence, they will survive!. Thanks again and I will be sure to try other products of yours in the future!"
Abrahim Ogir - NY

"..My birds have never looked better since administering the S76 to them – no more worries about the airsac mites. I will give S76 to my birds once a month from now on to ensure peak condition going forward. Well done for producing such a great product, best regards."
Ian Walker - UK

Environment Treatment
The nest, cage and aviary must be cleaned and disinfected with, a pyrethrum-based product on the second day of the S76 treatment. We offer three excellent products, Avian Insect Liquidator, Control and Pestex. Pyrethrum, and extract of the chrysanthemum flower is safe for use on birds and in their environment. This treatment must be repeated each week for three weeks to break the life cycle (21 days) of the Airsac & Red mite.

Individual Bird Treatment
Individual birds with symptoms of airsac mites should be removed to the hospital cage for treatment. One drop of S76 should be applied to the skin of the neck each day for 5 days.

Antibiotic Treatment
After the S76 treatment the birds should be placed on Amoxitex (antibiotic), for two days to help with secondary lung infections. Soft food enriched with vitamins & minerals should be provided to help accelerate recovery.

Lustrous clean feathers
This should be followed up several days later with a KD Water Cleanser bath. This second bath will remove all the dead mites and help promote lustrous clean feathering.

Health Stimulant
S76 is the original airsac mite treatment in water, and the only treatment to contain Slippery Elm. Slippery Elm bark is an ingredient also found in various lung medicines used for humans. When combined with water, slippery elm coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines, and protects your bird’s digestive tract from the irritation that the Ivermectin can cause.

It always has such a positive effect on birds...

  • Slippery Elm possesses astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Slippery Elm is the component that offers the anti-bacterial property to the S76 on the back of the bird’s throat, to kill any unwanted bacteria.
  • Slippery Elm absorbs impurities and toxins thereby helping them pass harmlessly out of the body. It nourishes the whole body and assists the activity of the adrenal glands.
  • Slippery Elm has a positive effect on relieving sinus inflammation, which is especially relevant for the bird suffering with airsac mites.

Dormancy Mites
MITES LIVE IN DORMANCY IN THE AIRWAYS OF BIRDS. These immature forms become active when the bird is ill, stressed or during hot weather. The problem can appear suddenly and spread throughout the flock quickly. Seasonal treatments with S76 will keep your bird protected from the airsac mite and in good health. It is the original water treatment for airsac mites and the only one containing Slippery Elm!

Additional Benefits
S76 will kill red and northern mites, airsac mites, deplumbing (feather) mites, blood parasites (Microfilaria), blood sucking lice, flies, and round worms. Has been effective in treating Acuaria spp. Spiruroid worms in species other than Gouldian and is recommended for the control of gizzard worm. It is safe for finches of all species and ages being particularly useful for juveniles, breeding pairs and during the molt.

Scaly Face & Feet
Paint directly with S76 using cotton bud on feet, legs and face sores. Keep away from eyes. Repeat once a week for 6 to 8 weeks until sores are healed. Reassess the nutrition of the bird because scaly face & leg can be nutritional and weak gene based.

Note:Remove all other water sources including greens, fruits and vegetable on the days of treatment with S76.
