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

It is 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’re prey to such birds for the food in their warm blood. These pests are introduced when there is existence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like cats and dogs or even by rodents.

These tiny creatures are capable of giving their host itch-inducing snacks and they are voracious blood eaters. These pests can be introduced at home when there’s vacated nest nearby or when pets and rodents live within the region. Hence, their presence shouldn’t be taken lightly and getting rid of them requires professional help from pest control experts.

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 described as walking pepper flakes.
• Their life span is short, about 7 days but they’re fast breeders that they can immediately infest a host.
• They enjoy blood meal so much and they like to host on warm-blooded animals like birds, rodents, cats and dogs.
• They affect poultry quickly, killing sick, young and old birds.
• They don’t transmit diseases however, their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The odds of getting bird lice or fowl bug to draw near to human is the stage where a few birds begin to vacate their nests close to home. Most birds are probably going to assemble their hot and comfortable homes on your rooftop, window sills as well as inside an air conditioning unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites are often nesting in vacated nest and they love to remain in moist and humid environment.

They are very active during the spring and summer season, where they prey on bird host. They hop from one host to another in search of a blood meal. They can enter the family or any building if they chance to prey animals such as rodents, cats and dogs as their hosts.

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

Since this pest is almost looked like ticks and bed bugs, home owners usually seek assistance from pest control professionals. The best approach that you can do though is investigating your area for existence of nest and then reporting it to the experts.
