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

It is fond to see birds flying around our home much longer when we spot a nest up on the trees. However, their existence can bring trouble due to one creature that nestles with them. Bird lice or bird mites are tiny creatures which are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to such birds for the food on their warm blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like dogs and cats or even by rodents.

Once they enter the households, bird lice should not be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on a human host and inducing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, then you can still come across with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• At less than 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are very small, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• Best described as walking pepper flakes.
• Their life span is brief, about seven days but they’re fast breeders that they can immediately infest a host.
• These pests’ diet is pure blood and that they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
• They can easily make a whole poultry sick most especially young and old birds.
• They bite that results to annoying itchiness. They may not transmit diseases but the scratch from their itchy bites can cause secondary infections and scarrings.

Although they’re self-limiting and can rarely survive if they host on people, the possibility of people getting in contact with the insect is simply fair. You can experience bird mite infestation if there are roosting birds nearby and are building their nests on trees, roof tops, window ledges and even an ac unit.

Where are they found?

Bird mites love humid or wet conditions and they’re very busy for the duration of spring and summer seasons and are evidently observed where birds and their nests are placed.

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

Bird mites can come in contact with people when birds leave their nests and these pests are left without a host to feed on.

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 specialists.
