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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our home 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 such birds for the food on their warm blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets such as cats and dogs or even by rodents.

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• Best called walking pepper flakes.
