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 because of 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 on their hot blood. These pests are introduced if there is existence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets such as dogs and cats or even by rodents.
