Raymond 618 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I would remove the nest felts with mites in them and burn them. I use poultry shield and spray the nest bowls and screws that hold them to the cage. I spray any cracks and crevices that the mites could be hiding in. I put fresh felts in the nest bowls and put some mite powder under the felt. I think its just controlling them during the breeding season. Dont want to disturbe the birds too much. Some people use ivomectin and other produts that can be put on the bird or in there drinking water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
