Detect Red Mite early with Red Mite Monitoring Traps.

The Red Mite, or Chicken Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) is a nasty parasite of birds; and particularly of poultry and chickens. The mite feeds on the blood of the birds, which can cause stress and anaemia. These symptoms can become so severe that they lead to increased pecking, and in some cases, cannibalism. Chickens may also produce a decreased egg yield. Chemical treatments are difficult and largely ineffective as they mostly only target adult mites.

Red Mites prefer dark, narrow hiding places and will crawl into the trap tubes at night. The next morning you will immediately be able to identify whether there is a Red Mite infestation within your poultry coop or bird enclosure.

It is best to ensure you have Red Mite Traps active all year round. This will enable you to consistently detect the presence of Red Mites at an early stage in the infestation which will minimise the risk to your birds and provide you with a greater chance of gaining control over the pest.

Red Mite Traps should be used in combination with our Androlis predatory mites for optimal control of the Red Mites and maximum protection for your Poultry and Birds.

Discover a red mite early with the traps and eradicate the problem with Androlis predators.
