How to Prepare Canary Nest Pans | Mite Proof & Using Carbolic Soap 

Nb DE only works if it is dry, as it desiccates the mites, thus the felt , on the ‘glue’ side will be less effective. DE can also be used within dust bath/ bowl. It works for surface mites, as a part of mite management for many species, other types of mite will require other methods eg frontline, ivermectin etc

Thanks for the tip I'm new to this with just 6 canaries.. so the amount of soap you used in your video was that just enough for one nest pan.. cheers

My vision canery and American goldfinch meeting..

Very interesting, I didn’t know about the soap and that powder I don’t know if I can get that here. For now I have sold all my canneries. Would like to get a pair again though. Mites is a big problem for all my birds. I use a spray . But hard to keep the nests free . Specially my budgies. Tks for that tips of the soap.

Great tutorial.

Carbolic soap doesn't work anymore because they have changed the ingredients in the soap

Carbolic soap smells so bad
