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

It’s 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 due to 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 caused by our pets like dogs and cats 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 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 quick 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.
• When they creep on light colored surfaces, they’re best described as walking pepper flakes.
• Their life span is short, about seven days but they’re fast breeders that they can immediately infest a host.
• These germs’ mainly feed on blood from flying animals, for example, pigeons, starlings, sparrows as well as poultry.
• They may be small but they are terrible for they can produce a complete poultry sick most especially young and old birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The odds of getting bird lice or fowl bug to draw close to human is the point where a few birds start to vacate their nests near home. Most birds are probably going to assemble their warm and comfortable houses on your rooftop, window sills and even within an air conditioning unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites love humid or moist conditions and they are extremely lively during the spring and summer seasons and are normally found in birds that nest near houses or surrounding areas.

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

These creatures also love to crawl and can enter the living rooms, climb on walls, ceilings and lurk in the bed.

As mentioned before, bird lice infestation is very crucial and requires proper identification. Since this pest is almost looked like ticks and bed bugs, home owners usually seek assistance from pest management professionals. The best approach that you can do though is investigating your area for existence of nest and then reporting it to the specialists. However, ponder on this warning do not attempt to remove yourself to prevent risk of bird mite transfer to other areas.

To spot a viable infestation, assess for nestings around:

• Eaves and at chimneys
