Vetafarm Avian Insect Liquidator Ready To Use 500mL

Fast-Acting Protection Against Lice and Mites for Birds and Their Environment

Avian lice and mites can lead to severe discomfort and health problems in caged and aviary birds. Symptoms such as excessive scratching, flaky or powdery skin, feather damage, and even scabbing are common. In more serious cases, infestations may cause anaemia, weakened immunity, and reproductive issues.
