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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our home much longer when we spot a nest up on the trees. However, their existence can bring trouble due to 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 are prey to these birds for the food in their hot blood. These pests are introduced if there is existence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets like dogs and cats or even by rodents.

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

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• At below 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely little, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• Best described as walking pepper flakes.
• They’re self-limiting pest that can live at least for 7 days but they are fast breeders and they’re capable of jumping from 1 host to another.
• They enjoy blood meal so much and they like to host warm-blooded animals like birds, rodents, cats and dogs.
• They are small but they are terrible for they can make a whole poultry sick most notably young and old birds.
• They do not transmit illnesses but their sting can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

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

Where are they found?

Bird mites love moist or humid conditions and they’re very active during the spring and summer seasons and are naturally located where birds and their nests can be found.

These tiny creatures move into dwelling areas on the lookout for a blood meal. They could crawl into your living area, climb on the walls, ceilings and lurk in bedding.

Bird mites can come in contact with people when birds leave their nests and these pests are left without a host to feed on.

Spotting Bird Lice Infestation

As mentioned earlier, bird lice infestation is quite critical and requires proper identification. Since this pest is nearly looked like ticks and bed bugs, home owners usually find assistance from pest management professionals. The best approach that you can do though is investigating your area for existence of nest and then reporting it to the specialists. However, ponder on this warning do not attempt to remove the nests yourself to prevent risk of bird mite move to other areas.

To spot the infestation, assess for nestings around:

• Eaves and in chimneys
• Roof spaces
