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

Have you ever experienced a sudden itch when you are enjoying free time outdoors? If so, you may 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, dogs and cats and have the possibility to feed on humans as well. However, these pests are self-limiting as they can only live for a brief period of time.

These tiny creatures are capable of giving their host itch-inducing bites and they’re voracious blood eaters. These pests can be introduced at home when there is vacated nest nearby or when rodents and pets live within the area. Hence, their presence shouldn’t be taken lightly and getting rid of them requires professional help from pest control experts.

• At under 1 mm long, bird mites/lice are extremely small, however, they are easily seen with a naked eye.
• When they crawl on light colored surfaces, they are best described as walking pepper flakes.
• They have a short life cycle of 7 days but they’re capable of quick reproduction to infest a host.
