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

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much more when we place a nest up on the trees. However, their existence 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 these birds for the food on their hot blood. These pests are introduced when there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets such as cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Once they enter the households, bird lice should not be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on a human host and inducing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, then you can still encounter with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm lengthy, bird mites/lice are very modest, but, they are without difficulty observable with a naked eye.
• Best called walking pepper flakes.
• They’re self-limiting pest that can live at least for seven days but they are fast breeders and they’re capable of jumping from one host to another.
• These germs’ mainly feed on blood from flying animals, for instance, pigeons, starlings, sparrows as well as poultry.
• They affect poultry very quickly, killing ill, old and young birds.
• They don’t transmit illnesses yet their sting can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

Although they are self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on humans, 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 an air conditioning unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites love humid or moist conditions and they’re really dynamic during the spring and summer seasons and are normally seen in birds that nest near homes or surrounding areas.

When spring and summer come, they’re very busy and are voraciously preying on birds.

Bird mites can come in contact with people when birds leave their nests and these pests are left with no host to feed on.
