How do I get rid of mites

Sometimes having a lot of "advice" ends up confusing - I mean, lot of suggestions, but all basically the same right?
Easiest thing to do is go to your Tractor Supply or similar store, pick up some Permethrin concentrate, a spray bottle and if possible a small garden sprayer.
Read the label on the concentrate, mix up the permethrin per the label. Treat the birds. Treat the housing. Repeat in 7 day intervals.

For the housing do the shavings need to be out first? Im assuming yes, but then I’d have to clear them out again in 7 days?

Just found mites on my birds this morning :(

Yes. I would clear the shavings out and dispose of them. And yes, you would want to probably do another clean out in 7 days, so...I would use the smallest amount of bedding as possible when having to do multiple cleanouts - less "waste" but also a little less work too.

Well I determined that they are lice, so do I still need to do that since they live on the birds not in the shavings?
