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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our house much longer 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 that are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to such birds for the food in 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 like cats and dogs 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 an individual host and causing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, you can still encounter with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• Bird mites are almost microscopically tiny of at least 1mm long, however, they can easily be seen with trained naked eyes.
• 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 bugs’ mainly feed on blood from flying animals, by way of example, pigeons, starlings, sparrows as well as poultry.
• They can easily create a whole poultry sick most especially young and old birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

Although they’re self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on humans, the chance of people getting in contact with the pest is just 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 even an air conditioning unit.

Where are they found?

As aforementioned, bird mites are nesting in vacated bird’s nest and they like to remain in moist and humid environment.

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

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

Since this pest is almost looked like ticks and bed bugs, home owners usually find assistance from pest control professionals.
