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 existence can bring trouble because of one creature that nestles with them. Bird lice or bird mites are tiny creatures which are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to these birds for the food on their warm blood. These pests are introduced when there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets such as cats and dogs or even by rodents.

These tiny creatures are capable of giving their host itch-inducing snacks and they are 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 should not be taken lightly and getting rid of them requires professional assistance from pest control experts.

Here are some fast facts about these bird lice:

• Their appearance are nearly alike to ticks and human lice they are quite small about 1mm long.
• Best described as moving pepper grounds.
• Their life span is short, about 7 days but they’re fast breeders they can immediately infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They affect poultry quickly, killing ill, young and old birds
• They do not transmit illnesses but their sting can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The possibilities of having bird lice or bird mite to get in contact with a human are when a few birds begin to construct their nest close to home. Most birds are likely to build their warm and secure nests in your rooftop, window ledges and even an air conditioner compressor unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites are usually nesting in vacated nest and they love to stay in moist and humid environment.

They are very active throughout the spring and summer season, where they prey on bird host. They hop from one host to another in search of a blood meal. They can enter the family or any building if they chance to prey animals such as rodents, cats and dogs as their hosts.

These creatures also love to crawl and can enter the living rooms, climb on walls, ceilings and lurk in the bedding.
