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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you are enjoying free time outside? If so, you might be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as others call it is preys that are naturally found in birds. They usually exist when birds vacate their nest. Though birds are their hosts, they can jump to feed on other animals such as rodents, dogs and cats and have the possibility to feed on humans also.

Once they enter into the households, bird lice shouldn’t be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on an individual host and inducing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, you can still come across with bird mites from birds that are roosting nearby.

• When they creep on light colored surfaces, they are best described as walking pepper flakes.
• They are self-limiting pest that can live at least for 7 days but they are fast breeders and they’re capable of jumping from one host to another.
• 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.
