The Poultry Red Mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae, is a major threat to the poultry industry worldwide, causing serious problems to animal health and welfare, and huge economic losses. Controlling PRM infestations is very challenging. Conventionally, D. gallinae is treated with synthetic acaricides, but the particular lifestyle of the mite (most of the time spent off the host) makes the efficacy of acaracide sprays often unsatisfactory, as sprays reach only a small part of the population. Moreover, many acaricides have been unlicensed due to human consumer and safety regulations and mites have become resistant to them. A promising course of action is Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which is sustainable for animals, humans and the environment. It combines eight different steps, in which prevention of introduction and monitoring of the pest are key. Further, it focusses on non-chemical treatments, with chemicals only being used as a last resort. Whereas IPM is already widely applied in horticulture, its application is still in its infancy to control D. gallinae in layer houses. This review presents the currently-available possibilities for control of D. gallinae in layer houses for each of the eight IPM steps, including monitoring techniques, established and emerging non-chemical treatments, and the strategic use of chemicals. As such, it provides a needed baseline for future development of specific IPM strategies, which will allow efficient and sustainable control of D. gallinae in poultry farms.

家禽红螨（PRM）， Dermanyssus gallinae是对全球禽业的主要威胁，给动物健康和福利造成严重问题，并造成巨大的经济损失。控制PRM感染非常具有挑战性。按照惯例，D. gallinae用合成杀螨剂治疗螨虫，但螨虫的特殊生活方式（大部分时间都花在宿主身上）使杀螨剂喷剂的功效常常不尽人意，因为喷剂仅能覆盖人口的一小部分。此外，由于人类消费者和安全法规的限制，许多杀螨剂尚未获得许可，螨虫对此产生了抵抗力。有害生物综合治理（IPM）是一项有前途的行动，对动物，人类和环境都是可持续的。它结合了八个不同的步骤，其中关键在于防止有害生物的传入和监测。此外，它专注于非化学处理，化学试剂仅用作最后的手段。尽管IPM已在园艺中得到广泛应用，但其应用仍处于初期控制阶段D. gallinae在层房子里。这次审查提出了目前可用的控制D. gallinae在IPM的八个步骤中，每个步骤都包含在层库中，包括监视技术，已建立和正在出现的非化学处理方法以及化学药品的战略使用。这样，它为将来制定特定的IPM战略提供了必要的基准，从而可以有效，可持续地控制D. gallinae 在家禽场。
