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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you’re enjoying free time outdoors? If so, you might be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as others call it is preys that are naturally found in birds. They usually are present when birds vacate their nest. Though birds are their hosts, they can jump to feed on other animals such as rodents, cats and dogs and have the possibility to feed on humans as well. However, these pests are self-limiting as they can only live for a brief period of time.

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

• 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.
• They have a short life cycle of seven days however they have the ability to reproduce fast and capable of plaguing a host.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They may be small but they are terrible for they can produce a complete poultry sick most notably young and old birds.
• They do not transmit diseases but their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The prospect of bird mites to get in contact with humans is high if the birds are building nests on nearby trees near a house. Sometimes, there are also birds that do not nest on trees but are building their nests on roof tops, window ledges as well as within an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are any.

Where are they found?

Bird mites are usually 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 jump from one host to another in search of a blood meal. They could enter the household or any building if they happen to prey animals such as rodents, cats and dogs as their hosts.
