Poor little babies…but once they are fledged, they can bathe and preen and get them under control.
Of course, once they’re gone, I will have the bluebirds to worry and fret about.
Now imagine if the mites where microscopic and everyone thought you were crazy. At Hearts Pest Management we know that you are not. We are developing methods to deal with this problem, but we avoid cases that have been very persistent because in many of these situations the victim has used their own pesticide treatments and so it is hard to control the process and protocol.
We are now investigating the use of .05 level micron electric and thermal foggers in the treatment, along with pyrethroids and growth regulators.

Thanks..Now I have to go take another shower.
I can only imagine the torment a helpless baby in the nest must feel.

I know, they’re gross. Like crawling pepper.
