Mites & Lice, What Are My Treatment Options?
Manufacturers Info:
Lice and mites are parasites that feed on the blood from our avian companions.

Avian Insect Liquidator penetrates into the plumage of birds to kill mites and lice under the feathers and skin. This product is 100% safe to use on all ornamental birds and their environments.
Lice and mites can cause skin irritation, itchiness, powdery, flaky deposits and sometimes scabs. Severe infestation can result in other health issues such as anaemia, reproductive issues and immune system issues for your birds.
