Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you are enjoying free time outside? If so, you may be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as what others call it is preys which are naturally found in birds. They usually are present when birds vacate their nest.

Hence, their presence should not be taken lightly and getting rid of them requires professional assistance from pest control experts.
