alison Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I seem to have the redmite under control in the cube, BUT, when I went to put the droppings from the nesting box into one of my black plastic bins, that I store it in ( until a lovely freeecycler collects it!) it was moving, heaving with tiny grey mites! I had lifted the lid with realising and my hand was covered in seconds! I have doused it in poultry shield and when dry, will Diatom it. I am amazed, they must have flown to it, as the bin is at least 4 feet away, no free ranging for a while, as a precaution I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think red mite can hide under droppings, so I wonder if you transferred them to the bin when clearing up the droppings before you got the red mite under control in the cube?

Redwing Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I agree, this happened to me so all my bedding goes in the council green bin if I suspect red mites (then they bred in the green bin until that was doused with poultry sheild ) little so and so's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
