I need help with mites on hummingbird feeders?
I've never run across this problem before and all the research I've done hasn't helped. I have 50 to 60 birds who are bringing them to the feeders and the mites fall off and gather around the feeder holes. I lightly wipe with alcohol pads but that only gets rid of the ones I can see. Some go down inside the feeder. I scald and clean the feeders after each feeding and always itch after dealing with these pesky mites. I know that's just in my mind. HELP!

What is actually happening is the Humming birds are fetching the Mites to your feeders,
The pick these up from the Flowers and Plants that they visit,for their other source of food.
You can only carry on with what you are doing because their host's the Humming birds will always pick them up.
