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

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much more when we place a nest up on the trees. However, their existence can bring trouble because of 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 are prey to these birds for the food on their hot blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets such as cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Once they enter into the households, bird lice shouldn’t be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on an individual host and inducing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, you can still come across with bird mites from birds that 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 easily seen with a naked eye.
• Best called walking pepper flakes.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they’re effective at quick reproduction to infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is purely blood and they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and even poultry.
• They affect poultry very quickly, killing ill, old and young birds.
• They do not transmit illnesses yet their sting can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

The prospect of bird mites to get in contact with humans 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 watchful if there are some.

Where are they found?

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

These small creatures move into dwelling areas on the lookout for a blood meal. They could crawl into your living area, climb on the walls, ceilings and lurk in bed.

Bird mites can be connected with human beings when birds leave their nests and these pests are left without a host to feed on.
