Oh that sounds pretty good, presumuably I could just buy one of those bottle spray things.

Thanks for that Derek - and well worth the money by the sound of it. I think I will start saving those spray bottles you get for shower and kitchen cleaners - they sound ideal - once washed out thoroughly I could make up a batch and keep a spray bottle or two handy.

Are there any signs on the quails to look for?

Hi Claire,

As red mite only feed on birds during the darkness, you'll find no mites on birds during the day.They don't live on the birds.

Red mite are naturally grey in colour, and only get their name from feeding from bird. They drink blood and large amounts it turns red.I read once, a hundred mites can drink a full drop of blood, if you times this by a million, you can see why birds become anaemic.

Derek.
