Poultry Red Mite Control Traps – Almite Traps
ALMITE® TRAPS is a professional monitoring system developed to detect and measure Dermanyssus gallinae activity in poultry houses. Early identification of infestations allows producers to make informed management decisions, evaluate treatment effectiveness and implement timely control measures before parasite populations reach damaging levels.
Accurate Detection, Better Control
Regular monitoring is essential for a successful red mite management programme. ALMITE® TRAPS provide a simple, reliable and non-invasive method for tracking mite populations over time, helping identify infestation hotspots and seasonal trends. The information collected enables poultry producers to optimise treatment schedules, reduce unnecessary interventions and improve the overall efficiency of integrated pest management strategies, supporting both animal welfare and farm productivity.
Application
ALMITE® TRAPS are strategically positioned throughout the poultry house in areas where red mites are most likely to hide and reproduce, such as cages, perches, nest boxes and structural cracks. Periodic inspection of the traps provides valuable data on infestation levels, allowing producers to monitor treatment results and respond quickly to changes in parasite activity as part of a comprehensive red mite control programme.
Integrated Red Mite Management
Effective control of Dermanyssus gallinae requires more than a single treatment—it demands a comprehensive and well-planned strategy. The ALMITE® product line has been developed to support every stage of red mite management, combining preventive measures, environmental sanitation, monitoring and targeted control solutions. By integrating innovative products with practical on-farm expertise, ALMITE® helps poultry producers improve animal welfare, protect flock productivity and maintain healthier farming environments through a sustainable and long-term approach.
