After looking at the 5 House finch nestlings recently I noticed that they
had mites. I wish they would hurry up and leave as they are nesting in a
hanging Boston fern on my front porch. The mites seem to be very abundant.
Can I don anything to treat the plant considering the birds are still in the
nest? Also my other fern has a nest of five House finch eggs.
Thanks,
