The floor of my house is a type of board/sheet you can spray off. It has little dimples all over it for texture, so it catches debris when I'm cleaning it out. Not warm enough for me to spray it out yet.

Could you use a shop vac to clean the coop? Suck up all the dust and mites.
De may help kill bugs in the coop, but wont get any that are in the down of your birds. Swimming or bathing wont help either because ducks are waterproof. The down (and mites) stay dry and cozy. Pyrithrium will likely kill them. Are Your birds healthy? They may be fine and you dont have to worry about it. Ducks are pretty resistant to parasites and disease, but you don't have to hang around here very long to see ducks still get sick.So will the DE not take care of an infestation? Or at least keep the ducks protected? Would getting some cedar shavings to mix in repel them?

Sounds like maybe they're ok? They don't seem to have a care in the world.
