Vetafarm Avian Insect Liquidator is a veterinarian-formulated liquid concentrate designed to control lice and mites on ornamental caged birds and treat their environment. Suitable for all bird species, from finches and canaries to parrots and cockatoos, the concentrate is diluted with water and applied to the bird, cage, perches and surrounds. Available in 100ml and 500ml sizes to suit single-bird owners through to aviary keepers.

External parasites can cause itching, feather damage, flaky skin, scabbing and — in severe cases — anaemia, breeding issues and weakened immunity. Avian Insect Liquidator was developed by avian vets specifically for ornamental birds, targeting mallophagan lice and mites on the bird and around the cage. Because it's a concentrate, one bottle stretches a long way — the 500ml size in particular is aimed at breeders and larger aviary setups.

Bird keepers choose Avian Insect Liquidator because it's built for birds rather than adapted from a dog or cat product, and it treats the environment as well as the animal — which matters when mites hide in cage crevices between feedings.
