Yeah, the DE is pretty useless for that kind of thing. I had my first mites this year. :barnieI used both the spray and the powder because I didn't want to miss any. Dusting the birds was an effort in futility, but it did work great in the bedding. I sprayed both the birds & the bedding first...

Would you use a qtip?
