Advice re feather mites/lice please

I have just completed the 1st phase of ASM/worming treatment (cydectin plus/Baycox mixture in water for 48 hours plus plus added vitamins). I now wish to treat the avairies for feather mites/lice and ants. What I propose to do is use Coopex on the avairy whilst the birds are inside. Will this help to solve the problem if the birds receive a light misting during the process are am I pushing the button too far?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That's how I do mine, Don't spray direct on birds,remove water and all food and dishes, clean out old brush replace with fresh after, clean any seed or husk from floor, watch for drips as birds will try to drink get fresh feed and water back in as soon as possible.

Vetafarm Insect Liquidator is sprayed directly onto birds and is also a residual whatsit for spraying into the nests and on perches etc. ( Lasts 3 months ).

Coopex is great for ants .
