Lice, mites etc. in winter

[danamillette]

Good morning,
My question is I live in a cold climate. Northern Wisconsin. Do I need to worry about pests such as lice and mites in the winter?
Thanks and have a good day!

I can't say for certain, but am saying yes... any wild birds in your area will still carry them.

This is a great preventive. I haven't had mites. I also keep bag balm on hand, just in case.

Yes, Mites, Lice and blue Bugs live in all climates. Spray your coops with permethrin and spray the chickens with it occaisionally too.
