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

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 warm blood. These pests are introduced when there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets like cats and dogs or even by rodents.
