i still find red mites in my big wooden house but none in my other 2 coops yet and i check daily , i use royal mail plastic post boxes for nest boxes and as mentioned before the mites adore these as they have little crevices in and these are checked every morning at about 5,45 am most the time i might find 4 - 10 but for the past 3 days i havent found and even on the walls i dont find any and the perches dont actully touch the walls of the house so they are very very easy to keep clean and powered , but on thursday the whole house is being taking apart to make it into 1 4'4 house and the other section is going to be left until i can get another sheet of ply to make another sperate 4'4 house as my runs are going to be getting split in half shortly but i do beleive that once you get struck once by mites then thats it you will always get them at some point in the future . thing is i do get just that bit to paranoid at times i have even put dense vaseline into all my seams to block of as many hiding places as i can bet yet still find them but as long as i dont ever ever get another mass invasion as i did a few years ago then i think i can cope .
also i used those large plastic garden storage sheds as hen houses last year and they got red mite badly but good thing with those is they only take about 10 mins to completely pull apart and clean part of me wants to go back to using them
05 but i have lost half the little pegs that keep the doors in place :lol: :lol: :lol: actullly they may be buried in the run somewhere .
