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

Have you ever experienced sudden itches and bites at your home or at someone’s humble abode and not knowing what’s happening? You may be bitten by bird lice.

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they can be readily seen with a naked eye.
• They are like walking pepper flakes when they crawl on light colored surfaces.

• These pests’ diet is pure blood and that they feed birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
• They can easily make a whole poultry sick most notably young and old birds.
