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 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 these birds for the food in their hot blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets like dogs and cats or even by rodents.

Bird lice (or bird mite) should not be dismissed. 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 is possible that your home and surroundings may have bird lice infestation when birds out are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are very small, but they can be readily seen with a naked eye.
• Best described as moving pepper grounds.
• They are self-limiting pest that can live at least for seven days but they are fast breeders and they are capable of jumping from 1 host to another.
• These bugs’ mainly feed on blood from flying animals, for example, pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They affect poultry quickly, killing sick, young and old birds.
• They aesthetically bite that results to annoying itchiness. They may not transmit diseases but the scratch from their itchy bites can cause secondary infections and scarrings.

The possibility of bird mites to get in contact with humans is high if the birds are building nests on nearby trees near a house. Sometimes, there are also birds that do not nest on trees but are building their nests on roof tops, window ledges and even inside an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are some.

Where are they found?

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

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

They hop from 1 host to another and they have higher odds of going into the household when they are able to host on pets and rodents. These creatures likes to crawl and can enter the living rooms, climb on walls, ceilings and lurk in the bed.

The best approach that you can do though is exploring your area for presence of nest and then reporting it to the specialists.
