When would you say Red Mite become active?

All this mild weather we're having, could it bring them out earlier that 'normal'??

They're always around, even in the Winter, but yes.....they will breed faster when it's warm.....

I thought I'd ask, as I haven't seen any around my chooks (YET!) :blink:

And if this good weather keeps going, I was worried that one minute not much, then bang! INFESTATION!!!
