Can't help on whether or not red mite affects ferts, but when there's a bad infestation, you probably need to re-felt the roof cos the fecky things will be hiding under the old felt.

pigeon boys use duramitex for mite ,mixed with water and painted on to the woodwork might need a few days to dry and the stink to subside but it will kill the mite atb

be careful about using jeyes fluid around ferrets, its a killer

 

yes, red mite will feed off a ferret, as stated, if you'vre seen ten, there's probably another few hundred under felt, all joints of wood etc

red mite need an avian host to reproduce they feed then go and lay there eggs in the cracks of the timbers theres lots of things that kill mite mitex bleach just a touch in a gallon of water this breaks down the waxy outer coating on the mite and they suffocate and ya can one spotya ferrits as a precaution
