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

Have you ever experienced unexpected itches and snacks at your home or at someone’s residence and not knowing what’s taking place? You may be bitten by bird lice.

Bird lice (or bird mite) should not be taken lightly. Even if you don’t have a pet bird at home, you can still come across these pests. They are tiny creatures capable of biting humans and pets and causes annoying itch. It’s possible that your home and surroundings may have bird lice infestation when birds outside are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• Their appearance are nearly equally to ticks and human lice they’re quite little about 1mm long.
• When they creep on light colored surfaces, they’re best described as walking pepper flakes.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they are capable of rapid reproduction to infest a host.
• 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 due to scratching.

The possibility 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 and even within an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are any.

Where are they found?

As aforementioned, bird mites are nesting in vacated bird’s nest and they love to stay in moist and humid environment.

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