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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you’re enjoying free time outside? If so, you might be bitten by bird lice. Bird lice or bird mites as what 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 possibility to feed on humans also. However, these pests are self-limiting as they can only live for a brief period of time.

Bird lice (or bird mite) shouldn’t be taken gently. Even if you don’t have a pet bird, you could stumble upon these pests. They’re tiny creatures capable of biting humans and pets and causes stressful itch. It’s viable that your property and environment could have bird lice infestation whilst birds outside are roosting close by.

Here are a few quick data about these bird lice:

• At below 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely little, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• They’re like walking pepper flakes when they crawl on light colored surfaces.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they are effective at rapid reproduction to infest a host.
• Their diet is purely blood. Though they are mostly found in birds, they could infest other warm-blooded animals such as rodents, dogs and cats.
• They affect poultry quickly, killing sick, young and old birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

The possibilities of having bird lice or bird mite to get in touch with a human are when a few birds begin to construct their nest close to home. Most birds are likely to build their warm and secure nests in your rooftop, window ledges and even an air conditioner compressor unit.

Where are they found?

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

These small bugs move into living spaces looking for blood meals. They can go into your front room, getting on the dividers, roofs and sneaking in bedding.

They hop from 1 host to another and they have higher chances of going into the household when they have the ability to host on pets and rodents. These creatures likes to crawl and can enter the living rooms, climb on walls, ceilings and lurk in the bed.
