    just at the back of our run is a elder tree it is in a neighbours garden but over hangs our run,when the wind blows leaves off I have noticed they are crawling with insects some which look like mite grey and small.Pigeons roost in this tree so am i right in thinking this is where my pen gets its infestation from and if so besides fire is there anything i can do to stop it!This year it seems really bad if I stand up by the tree for 10 mins I can feel mites on me and am worried about taking them in the house!
