While the coop was drying, I put some of this powder from the pet shop on the birds, and then went back to the coop to find red mites all over the place.
Can anyone recommend anything?
I thought about a flamethrower but the coop is made of wood.

Try something called Oxi mite red mite spray as that is supposed to be quite good or here is a link to some items on Amazon.
