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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our house much longer when we place 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 which are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They are prey to such birds for the food in their hot blood. These pests are introduced when there is existence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like dogs and cats or even by rodents.
