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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our home much more when we place a nest up on the trees. However, their existence can bring trouble due to one creature that nestles with them. Bird lice or bird mites are tiny creatures that 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 presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like dogs and cats or even by rodents.

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

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• Their appearance are nearly alike to ticks and human lice they’re quite small 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’re capable of quick reproduction to infest a host.
• Their diet is blood. Though they are mostly found in birds, they can infest other warm-blooded animals such as rodents, cats and dogs.
• They are small but they are terrible for they can make a whole poultry sick most especially young and old birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite 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 and even within an air conditioner unit. So, be cautious if there are some.
