Black Small

How can I get rid of Black small mosquito looking pests in my birds cage.?

I have a millitary macaw in a large cage inside my house and I went out of town for the weekend and when we came back there was a million of small (tick looking)flying black pests in his cage. They migrated to my pantry, we cleaned out the cage and the pantry and thought they were all gone, until last night we come home and they are in his cage again. Same food (frozen 3 days before we give it to him from the store). He doesn't go outside.

We have a Scarlet Macaw and the only time we get those bugs is by letting his cage get too dirty! Now once you get them they move to your drains and breed! So you need to put baking soda and vinegar down all your drains including all sinks, tubs, showers, washer machine. Just pore some baking soda down the drain then add vinegar slowly it will bubble up does this several times down each drain and it should take care of your problem, without being toxic to your bird!

Hope this helps,
Tammie
