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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our house much more when we spot 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 these birds for the food in their warm blood. These pests are introduced when there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Once they enter the households, bird lice shouldn’t 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, you can still come across with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• Their appearance are almost equally to ticks and human lice they are quite little about 1mm long.
• Best described as moving pepper grounds.
• Their life span is brief, about 7 days but they’re fast breeders they can immediately infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is pure blood and that they feed birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
• They affect poultry very quickly, killing ill, old and young birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

Although they are self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on people, the possibility 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 even an ac unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites love moist or humid conditions and they are extremely lively during the spring and summer seasons and are normally found in birds that nest near homes or surrounding areas.

These small bugs move into living spaces searching for blood meals. They can enter your front room, getting on the dividers, roofs and sneaking in bedding.

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

Spotting Bird Lice Infestation

As mentioned before, bird lice infestation is very crucial and requires proper identification. Since this pest is nearly looked like ticks and bed bugs, home owners usually find assistance from pest management professionals. The best approach that you can do though is exploring your area for presence of nest and then reporting it to the experts. However, ponder on this warning do not attempt to remove yourself to prevent risk of bird mite transfer to other areas.

To spot possible infestation, check for nestings around:

• Eaves and at chimneys
• Rooftop spaces
• Wall cavities
• Storm cellars
• Window sills
• Porches

Another thing you can do though is to prevent birds from building nests in your premises. Block openings by putting up significant fences, seal and fix roof cavities and other entry points which bird lice can crawl into.
