I bought a propane fogger. I need to know what kills bird mites. I Was considering buying Fogmaster Jr 5330. I know for 100% I have bird mites. I have been going crazy. Local pest control guy basically told me no. My landlord thinks I'm crazy. I have spent 1,000's of dollars in fighting this problem. I found 2 empty bird nests that I made my landlord remove. Any help would be appreciated. God speed.
While ULD BP-100 is labeled for Mites (not bird mites specifically), we would not recommed using a fogger as this type of application will only kill insects that are exposed at the time of treatment; it will not penetrate into cracks and crevices. Fogging solutions are going to be contact kills only, so they are not intended to have long-term residual killing power. It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites. If you do indeed have bird mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead bird on or in the home, as you already have. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Please review our How to Get Rid of Bird Mites article for further information and tips.
