Bird mites may not be harmful but they do bite and cause red lumps that itch. Feral chickens can carry them. Let’s support the department of Environmental Protection who are trying to get rid of them and are often met with push back from the community.

Agreed and may I add these issues do not happen over night. Pests can get into any residential or commercial building through the smallest crack or crevice, so who on island can garuantee they are 100 percent pests free. No one can control Mother Nature most you can do is reduce the effects within the confines of the space you occupy. We are not talking about Ebola here. How many of us get bitten by mosquito, does the government put a crop duster plane in the air and spray the entire island.?? No we take our own pre cautions to safe guard ourselves.

Many schools have mold. The smell is obvious as soon as you walk into some building. I know some schools were supposed to be tented last summer considering the amount of roaches big and small!!

With regard to the problem with birds nests and mites in the roof at Harrington Sound School, I have had an identical problem recently in my own home, and when speaking with an expert on the subject I was informed that in recent weeks, or months, this has been an escalating problem around the Island, with some homes literally infested with mites.

It sounds as though every effort was and is being made to deal with the problem at Harrington Sound School.
