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

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much longer when we place 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’re prey to these birds for the food in their hot blood. These pests are introduced when there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be brought in by our pets like cats and dogs or even by rodents.

Bird lice (or bird mite) should not be dismissed. Even if you don’t have a pet bird at home, you can still encounter these pests.
