Edible Birdnest farming can be considered an ideal, most exciting and a very lucrative business. This venture is suitable for those who live in parts of Cambodia, Southern Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippine and Indonesia. This blog is dedicated to my findings, crazy ideas, encounters with newbies, comments from friends, local news, pictures relevant to Birdnest plus my personal experiences and knowledge gained in swiftlet farming.

How To Kill Those Swiftlet Bugs or Birdhouse Lice !!!
If you happened to meet someone who has just came out of his birdhouse try to observe this unusual phenomenon:
"His fingers tend to move from one part of his body to another trying to scratch his body parts because of itchiness."
This phenomena is common if the house he visited was full of swiftlets and never been treated or sprayed with suitable chemicals to kill those birds bugs or lice (kutu burung or hama).
It seem that swiftlet do carry with them a kind of bug that love to suck blood.
When you visit any BH please be aware of the possibility of contracting these boneless creatures and they are very minute in size so much so you are not able to see them.
Once they are on your head and body, they will start their action in sucking your blood. This is when you feel a crawling sensation especially on your head and hands.
To ensure that your BH is free from this creature, I was advised by a good friend Mr.G, to apply an insecticide product called "Fendona" manufactured by BASF.
Please read this article:
Fendona
Fendona is a pyrethroid spray that is different from any other currently on the market. In fact, it is the first insecticide of its kind formulated with the pest control operator in mind.
What makes Fendona unique in its particle technology. Fendona contains microscopic particles that adhere to any type of surface--bare wood, glass, brick, concrete, masonry and more. These particle are the key to Fendona‘s superior performance.
How does it work?
Fendona is active on contact and through ingestion. It is especially effective because the active ingredient forms particles that cling to the feet antennae of roaches, fleas and other pests. The ingredients in these particles are absorbed on contact, causing irritation within 5 minutes. As the insect tries to remove the particle, it actually comes into contact with more product, speeding up the absorption process. In fact, the active ingredient in Fendona is so effective, it can knockdown insects in as little as 30 minutes and cause death within 24 hours.
Other Benefits
Safe for people and pets.
Fendona is approved for use in kitchens, restaurants, hospitals, zoos, and other sensitive areas.
Environmentally friendly
Fendona is biodegradable, so it doesn’t pose a threat to the environment
No odor or stains
Fendona is water-based, not petroleum based. That means no offensive odor. Fendona wont stain either.
Can be applied at lower rates than other pesticides
Because of its unique formulation, you’ll need less Fendona to achieve a high mortality rate. That means less product in the home or business, reducing exposure to occupants.
Effective for up to 3 months
Because Fendona stays potent longer, pests are less likely to reinfest. So your customer wont be calling you back to finish the job at your cost.
Easy to work with
Fendona works with virtually any type of spray equipment. It also works well if you are treating a site requiring several different application techniques

Hope you enjoy learning something new today.
To avoid behaving like a monkey after a BH visit, please go and clean your self by using dettol soap and agood bath. Make sure you soap youself well and shampoo your hair and let those soap be there for at least a few minutes before rinsing.

Hi Harry,

Kent,
There still lots of things that need discovery and let me dig more for all to know or refer to.
Have a good day alwats
Hi Harry,
It's not very effective as my friend just try them. FENDONA SC by BASF, right?
lice and tick are different from Lipas or Lalat, any comments, Harry.
Will get back to you on another that I have been using.......forget the name as getting old.
