Read About Choosing Bird Insect Control

Insects can be a challenge, not only on your bird, but around her food as well. You should check into fruitfly and moth traps if you notice them hovering around the bird food.

Things to Consider:

  • Check for Mites – Mites are the most common disease-causing insect found in birds. You should check your bird´s skin often for wart&ndashlike lesions, as mites can infest the skin long before visual signs develop.

  • Skin Condition – Knemidokoptes mites are microscopic and can only be identified by the scaly skin condition they cause.

  • Imported vs. Domestic Birds – The risk of insect infestation is great in imported birds. If you want to decrease your chances of having to deal with insects, you should stick with domestic birds.
