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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our home much longer when we place a nest up on the trees. However, their presence can bring trouble because of 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’re 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 caused by our pets such as dogs and cats 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 rodents and pets live within the area. Hence, their presence should not be taken lightly and eliminating them requires professional assistance from pest control experts.

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are very small, but they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• They are like walking pepper flakes when they crawl on light colored surfaces.
• They have a short lifestyle cycle of seven days however they are capable of rapid propagation to infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is pure blood and that they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
• They can easily make a whole poultry sick most notably young and old birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

Although they’re self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on people, the chance of people getting in contact with the insect 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 an ac unit.
