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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you are enjoying free time outdoors? If so, you may be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as others call it is preys which are naturally found in birds. They usually are present 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 option to feed on humans as well. However, these pests are self-limiting as they can only live for a short period of time.

Once they enter 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 who are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

  • Their appearance are nearly equally to ticks and human lice they’re quite small about 1mm long.
  • Best called walking pepper flakes.
  • They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they’re capable of rapid 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 sick, old and young birds.
  • They don’t transmit illnesses but their sting can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The chances of having bird lice or bird mite to get close to person is when some birds begin to build their nest near a home. Most birds are likely to build their hot and comfortable nests in your roof top, window ledges and even inside an air conditioner compressor unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites are usually nesting in vacated nest and they love to remain in moist and humid environment.

As mentioned earlier, 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 control professionals. The best approach that you can do though is exploring your area for presence 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.

  • Eaves and in chimneys

I had Benjamin from Local Pest Control come to our place on Monday because I was worried we had a spider problem. He identified a major funnel web spider situation. Benjamin was so thorough and considerate because I was very scared having three small children. He went above and beyond to make sure he spent as much time as needed to treat every single spider hole in our yard. He has arranged to come back in 2 weeks time just to make sure we are all safe for the Christmas period. So grateful for all his help. Highly recommend!

I have been using this business for pest control for number of years after having a number of other pest control companies failing to ensure unwanted inserts and spiders were not around our place. Local Pest Control seem to have the environmental toxic free products and satisfy the pest problem and it seems to last the year. Highly recommend this business would not consider another pest business. Valued customer.

Real Estate Property Manager. Prior to the introduction I had used other Companys who did not offer the same professional service I attained from Local Pest Control. No job was too small or too big and they were always contactable and were able to attend to the job quickly. The quality of their service and the work performed is second to none. I have used the Company for my own family needs as well and I will never again use another Company for my Pest Control needs.
