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

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much more when we place a nest up on the trees. However, their existence 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 in their warm blood. These pests are introduced if there is existence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets such as cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Once they enter into the households, bird lice should not be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on a human host and inducing 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 quick facts about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are very small, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• Best described as moving pepper grounds.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days however they are able to reproduce fast and capable of plaguing a host.
• These bugs’ mainly feed on blood from flying animals, by way of instance, pigeons, starlings, sparrows as well as poultry.
• They may be small but they are terrible for they can produce a whole poultry sick most notably young and old birds.
• They bite that results to annoying itchiness. They may not transmit diseases but the scrape from their itchy bites can cause secondary infections and scarrings.

Although they are self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on people, the possibility of people getting in contact with the pest is just fair. You can experience bird mite infestation if you will find roosting birds nearby and are building their nests on trees, roof tops, window ledges and an air conditioning unit.

Where are they found?

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

These little bugs move into living spaces searching for blood meals. They can go into your front room, getting on the dividers, roofs and sneaking in bed.

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