Squish them & they're full of blood - chook blood!
redmiteredmiteI spotted a nest of redmite today, luckily confined to a little crack on the perch, so easily dealt with. I thought it might be interesting for anyone that hasnt experienced them yet to see what to look for. Cracks & knott holes in perches are a favourite spot - put on your glasses or grab a magnifying glass & have a good look.
