Kombat Karbachick 100g

Kombat Karbachick 100g is a ready-to-use insecticidal dusting powder for the control of external parasites affecting poultry, cage birds and poultry housing. It contains carbaryl 50g/kg and is registered for the control of red mites, tampans and lice.

The powder can be used directly on birds for lice and can also be applied to poultry houses where red mites and tampans hide in litter, perches, nests, cracks and other sheltered areas. This makes Karbachick particularly useful where parasite control needs to address both the birds and their environment.

What does Kombat Karbachick 100g control?

• Red mites
• Tampans
• Lice on poultry
• Lice on cage birds
• Red mites and tampans in poultry houses

Kombat describes Karbachick as a dustable powder with residual contact and stomach-poison action for insect control. It is registered in South Africa under L8610, Act 36 of 1947.

Kombat Karbachick is also registered for the control of ticks and fleas on dogs and cats.

Dogs and cats: Sprinkle the powder lightly onto the coat and rub in well. For cats, brush the powder out afterwards. Repeat weekly or as often as necessary.

Active ingredient

Carbaryl (Carbamate): 50g/kg

Carbaryl is an insecticidal active ingredient used for controlling susceptible external parasites and insects. Because Karbachick is supplied as a ready-to-use dust, there is no need to dilute it with water before application.

How to use for lice on poultry and cage birds

For lice on birds, apply the powder according to the registered directions by dusting:

• Under each wing
• Around the vent area

Apply carefully and avoid unnecessary dust around the bird’s face, eyes and respiratory passages.

Correct parasite identification is important. Lice live and feed on the bird, while other parasites such as red mites can spend much of their time hiding in the poultry house and only move onto birds to feed. Where parasites are also present in the housing, treating the environment is an important part of control.

How to use in poultry houses

For red mites and tampans in poultry buildings, dust the poultry house thoroughly according to the label directions.

Pay particular attention to areas where parasites can hide, including:

• Floors
• New litter
• Perches
• Nests
• Nest hay
• Cracks in wood
• Cracks and crevices in walls

These sheltered areas are important because external parasites can remain hidden away from the birds for part of their life cycle. Good treatment therefore requires more than simply dusting the visible surfaces.

Why poultry-house treatment matters

A red mite problem can persist when only the birds are treated because mites commonly hide in cracks, nest boxes, perches and other protected areas during the day. Thorough cleaning and treatment of the poultry environment can therefore form an important part of an external-parasite control programme.

Remove excessive dirt and debris where practical and pay close attention to hard-to-reach areas when applying Kombat Karbachick 100g.

Suitable for

Why choose Kombat Karbachick 100g?

Kombat Karbachick 100g provides a simple way to tackle some of the most troublesome external parasites found around chickens and cage birds. The ready-to-use powder can be applied directly to birds for lice while also being used in poultry housing for red mites and tampans.

That combination is useful because successful external-parasite control often means dealing with more than the bird itself. Perches, nests, litter and cracks can all provide hiding places for parasites, making environmental treatment an important part of good poultry management.
