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 which are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to these birds for the food on their hot blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets such as cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Once they enter into the households, bird lice should not be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on a human host and inducing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, then you can still encounter with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are very small, but they can be readily seen with a naked eye.
• Best described as walking pepper flakes.
• Their life span is short, about seven days but they’re fast breeders that they can immediately infest a host.
• Their diet is purely blood. Though they are mostly found in birds, they could infest other warm-blooded animals such as rodents, cats and dogs.
• They affect poultry rapidly, killing ill, young and old birds
• They don’t transmit diseases however, their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

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

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 summertime, 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.

Bird mites can come in contact with humans when birds leave their nests and these pests are left with no host to feed on.
