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

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

Bird lice (or bird mite) should not be taken lightly. Even if you don’t have a pet bird in your home, you can still come across these pests. They are tiny creatures capable of biting humans and pets and induces annoying itch. It is possible that your home and surroundings can have bird lice infestation when birds outside are roosting nearby.

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• Best described as walking pepper flakes.

The possibilities of having bird lice or bird mite to get in touch with a human are when a few birds start to construct their nest close to home. Most birds are likely to build their warm and secure nests on your rooftop, window ledges and even an air conditioner compressor unit.
