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

It’s fond to see birds flying around our house much more 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 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 like cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Once they enter into 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, you can still come across with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.

Here are some fast facts about these bird lice:

• At under 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they can be readily seen with a naked eye.
• Best called walking pepper flakes.
• They are self-limiting pest that can live at least for seven days but they are fast breeders and they’re capable of jumping from one host to another.
• These pests’ diet is pure blood and that they feed on birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and fowl.
• They impact poultry quickly, killing sick, old and young birds.
• Though they are not known to transmit diseases, their itch-induced bite can cause secondary infections because of scratching.

The prospect of bird mites to get in contact with people is high if the birds are building nests on nearby trees near a house. Sometimes, there are also birds that do not nest on trees but are building their nests on roof tops, window ledges and even inside an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are any.

Where are they found?

Bird mites love moist or humid conditions and they’re very active during the spring and summer seasons and are naturally found where birds and their nests can be found.

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