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

It is fond to see birds flying around our house much more 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 that are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They’re prey to these birds for the food on their warm blood. These pests are introduced if there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets such as dogs and cats or even by rodents.
