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

Have you experienced sudden itches and snacks at your house or at someone’s humble abode and not knowing what is happening? You may be bitten by bird lice.

Once they enter the households, bird lice shouldn’t be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on an individual host and inducing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, you can still encounter with bird mites from birds that are roosting nearby.

Here are some quick facts about these bird lice:

• At below 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they can be easily seen with a naked eye.
• They’re like walking pepper flakes when they crawl on light colored surfaces.
• They’re self-limiting pest that can live at least for 7 days but they are fast breeders and they’re capable of jumping from one host to another.
• Their diet is blood. Though they are mostly found in birds, they could infest other warm-blooded animals such as rodents, dogs and cats.
• They impact poultry very quickly, killing sick, old and young 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 and even inside an air conditioner unit. So, be watchful if there are some.

Where are they found?

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

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

They hop from one host to another and they have higher odds of going into the household when they are able to host on pets and rodents. These creatures also loves to crawl and can enter the living rooms, climb on walls, ceilings and lurk in the bedding.

Spotting Bird Lice Infestation

The best approach that you can do though is exploring your area for existence of nest and then reporting it to the experts.
