Knocking Down Tiny and Itch-inducing Bird Lice (Bird Mite)

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much more when we spot a nest up on the trees. However, their presence can bring trouble because of one creature that nestles with them. Bird lice or bird mites are tiny creatures that are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to such birds for the food in their hot blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like cats and dogs or even by rodents.

These tiny creatures are capable of giving their host itch-inducing snacks and they’re voracious blood eaters. These pests can be introduced at home when there’s vacated nest nearby or when rodents and pets live inside the area. Hence, their presence shouldn’t be taken lightly and getting rid of them requires professional help from pest control experts.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm lengthy, bird mites/lice are very small, but, they may be without difficulty observable with a naked eye.
• Best described as moving pepper grounds.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they’re capable of quick reproduction to infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They can easily create a whole poultry sick most especially young and old birds.
• They do not transmit illnesses yet their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

Although they are self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on people, the possibility of people getting in contact with the insect is simply fair. You can experience bird mite infestation if there are roosting birds nearby and are building their nests on trees, roof tops, window ledges and even an ac unit.
