Description
All it took was a few baby chicks and a carpeted floor, and soon, Jane Ishka, a San Francisco Bay Area homesteader, literally felt her skin crawling. She—and her house, her car, and all of her belongings—had been infested by the red poultry mite, Dermanyssus gallinae. Driven from her home and bed by the biting and itching, Jane used her scientific background to figure out what was wrong, and most importantly, how to fix it.
Advance Praise
"When my family was undergoing an infestation of bird mites, I needed information on how to fight it. I didn't know anyone local to me who had been through it, so I had to scour the internet. I needed a book like this, but there is nothing out there that is accessible to people like me. I found websites with varying advice, and eventually found Jane's blog which gave me the information I needed to effectively fight. This book gives all the advice contained on her blog, and much more. Finding out that my feelings of fear, confusion and desperation had been shared by someone else going through the same thing really helped. The fact that Jane is a scientist offers a further dimension; the pest control operators and doctors I encountered during my nightmare experience could learn a lot from reading this."
