Inca Pestene Powder is a well-established insecticidal dusting powder used to control lice and mites on poultry and other animals. Recognised by Australian poultry keepers for decades, it is applied directly to birds targeting the key sites where external parasites concentrate.

Apply the powder to the vent area, under each wing, and around the neck and breast — the primary infestation zones for poultry lice and mites. Two-person application is recommended for chickens: one to hold and position the bird, one to work the powder through the feathers. Beyond poultry, Pestene can be used on other animals affected by external parasites, following label directions for each species.

Pestene Powder has been a staple on Australian farms and backyard coops for generations. Its dry powder format ensures thorough coverage into feather shafts and skin folds where mites and lice hide, making it effective for both active treatment and routine preventative dusting programs.
