So for the first time I discovered mites on my birds - what I believe to be Northern mites. Birds have been dusted and I’ll be spending my weekend cleaning the coop. Ugh!! I can see I have lots of company. Right now I’m pouring over the threads for advice and plans of attack.
My stupid question: why aren’t foggers/ bug bombs an option in treating mites in the coop? (Of course with no chickens around.) Seems like it would be easy and effective. I would think if you did it first thing in the morning with the whole day to air out it would be safe, but guessing not? Anyone know?
Also, how often can you safely dust birds?
