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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you are enjoying free time outside? If so, you might be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as what others call it is preys that are naturally found in birds. They usually exist when birds vacate their nest. Though birds are their hosts, they can jump to feed on other animals such as rodents, cats and dogs and have the possibility to feed on humans as well. However, these pests are self-limiting as they can only live for a brief time period.

These tiny creatures are capable of giving their host itch-inducing snacks and they’re voracious blood eaters. These pests can be introduced at home when there’s vacated nest nearby or when pets and rodents live within the area. Hence, their presence should not be taken lightly and eliminating them requires professional help from pest control experts.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• At under 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they can be readily seen with a naked eye.
• 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 pure blood and that they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
• They are small but they are terrible for they can produce a whole poultry sick most especially young and old birds.
• They do not transmit diseases but their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The possibilities of having bird lice or bird mite to get in touch with a human are when a few birds begin to construct their nest near home. Most birds are likely to build their warm and secure nests on your rooftop, window ledges and even an air conditioner compressor unit.

Where are they found?

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

They are very active during the spring and summertime, where they prey on bird host. They hop from one host to another in search of a blood meal. They can enter the family or any building if they chance to prey on animals such as rodents, cats and dogs as their hosts.

Bird mites can come in contact with humans when birds leave their nests and these pests are left with no host to feed on.

Spotting Bird Lice Infestation

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

To spot the infestation, assess for nestings around:

• Eaves and in chimneys
• Roof spaces
• Wall cavities
• Basements
• Window ledges
• Porches

If there is one DIY method you can do to prevent the infestation, that’s installing high fences on your environment. The existence of high fences can block birds from entering your area and build their nest. You can also start sealing and fixing roof cavities and other entry points that bird lice can crawl into.
