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

It is fond to see birds flying around our home 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 that are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to these birds for the food in their warm blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets like cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Bird lice (or bird mite) shouldn’t be taken gently. Even if you don’t have a pet bird, you could encounter them pests. They are tiny creatures capable of biting humans and pets and causes stressful itch. It is viable that your property and environment could have bird lice infestation whilst birds outside are roosting close by.

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• Bird mites are almost microscopically tiny of 1mm long, however, they can easily be seen with trained naked eyes.
• Best described as walking pepper flakes.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they’re effective at rapid reproduction to infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They can easily make a whole poultry sick most notably young and old birds.
• They do not transmit diseases but their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

Although they are self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on humans, the possibility 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?

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

These small bugs move into living spaces looking for blood meals. They can go into your front room, getting on the dividers, roofs and sneaking in bed.

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

Spotting Bird Lice Infestation

The best approach that you can do though is investigating your area for existence of nest and then reporting it to the experts.
