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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you are enjoying free time outdoors? If so, you may be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as what others call it is preys which 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 option to feed on humans also. However, these pests are self-limiting as they can only live for a brief time period.

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

Here are some fast facts about these bird lice:

• Bird mites are almost microscopically tiny of at least 1mm long, however, they can easily be seen with trained naked eyes.
• Best called walking pepper flakes.
• Their life span is short, about 7 days but they’re fast breeders they can immediately infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They impact poultry very quickly, killing ill, old and young birds.
• They do not transmit illnesses but their bite can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

The possibility of bird mites to get in contact with humans is high if the birds are building nests on nearby trees near a home. Sometimes, there are also birds that do not nest on trees but are building their nests on roof tops, window ledges and even within an air conditioner unit. So, be cautious if there are any.
