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

Bird lice or bird mites are tiny creatures that are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re 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 causing 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:

  • Their appearance are almost alike to ticks and human lice they’re quite small about 1mm long.
  • Best described as walking pepper flakes.
  • Their life span is short, about 7 days but they’re fast breeders that they can immediately infest a host.
  • These germs’ mainly feed on blood from flying animals, for example, pigeons, starlings, sparrows as well as poultry.
  • They affect poultry rapidly, killing ill, young and old birds
  • They don’t transmit diseases but their bite can cause secondary infections due to scratching.

Great company, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome results. Called Andrew and let him know what we were seeing. Andrew was wonderful, helped me determine what type of creepy crawlers we had in our home and was able to get someone out really quick. Adam came out to treat our apartment for cockroaches and from start to finish I was super impressed. Adam was friendly, answered all my questions, and gave me some insight and tips to help with our problem. Local Pest Control is a reliable and effective company who I won’t hesitate to call again! Highly recommend.

Where are they found?

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

These tiny creatures move into dwelling areas on the lookout for a blood meal. They could crawl into your living area, climb on the walls, ceilings and lurk in bedding.

Bird mites can interact with people when fowls leave their houses and these bugs are left with no host to benefit from.
