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

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much longer 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 are prey to such birds for the food on their hot blood. These pests are introduced when 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.

These tiny creatures are capable of giving their host itch-inducing snacks and they’re voracious blood eaters. These pests can be introduced at home when there is vacated nest nearby or when rodents and pets live within the area. Hence, their presence should not be taken lightly and eliminating them requires professional help from pest control experts.

Here are some fast facts about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm lengthy, bird mites/lice are extremely small, but, they may be without difficulty visible with a naked eye.
• Best described as moving pepper grounds.
• They’re self-limiting pest that can live at least for seven days but they are fast breeders and they’re capable of jumping from 1 host to another.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They affect poultry very quickly, killing sick, old and young birds.
• They don’t transmit illnesses but their sting can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

The prospect of bird mites to get in contact with people 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 as well as within an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are some.

Where are they found?

Bird mites love moist or humid conditions and they’re very active during the spring and summer seasons and are naturally located where birds and their nests are located.

When spring and summer come, they’re very active and are voraciously preying on birds.

Bird mites can socialise with people when fowls leave their homes and these bugs are left with no host to benefit from.
