How I got rid of bird mites on myself
I can't comment on the environment - I brought them back on my person from India and struggled to get rid of them for 2 and a half years. In the end the solution was simple and free. Cut ALL carbs and sugar. Even the sugar in your coffee. Potatoes, bread, crisps, any...
