Had to do some digging as it looks like you are in the UK. Firstly here are the instructions: https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com/2de3931d-61f2-00a3-6635-b7b29fac0245/ae29c7d1-9e2b-4b70-8179-b656e432ed65/Elector%20PSP%20-%20Northern%20Fowl%20Mites.pdf
You will need to convert the dosage for smaller volumes.
I also found this on EBay UK that sells small quantities (it’s extremely concentrated). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184955292748?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D233204%26meid%3Dd33e768f41d84aa8891928dc77dd75b9%26pid%3D100930%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D284059084740%26itm%3D184955292748%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2332490.c100930.m5375
Best of luck! Mites are real buggers to clear up.
