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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you’re enjoying free time outdoors? If so, you might be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as others call it is preys which 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 option 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 bites and they’re voracious blood eaters. These pests can be introduced at home when there is vacated nest nearby or when pets and rodents live within the region. Hence, their presence shouldn’t be taken lightly and getting rid of them requires professional help from pest control experts.

Here are some fast facts about these bird lice:

  • At below 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
  • Best called walking pepper flakes.
  • They have a short lifestyle cycle of seven days however they’re capable of rapid propagation to infest a host.
  • These pests’ diet is pure blood and that they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
  • They affect poultry rapidly, killing ill, young and old birds
  • Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

The possibility 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 as well as within an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are some.
