Bird mites are a common pest that can infest homes and other buildings, especially those located near bird nests or roosting sites. These tiny insects feed on the blood of birds and can cause itching and irritation in humans.
To control bird mites, it is important to address the source of the infestation, which is often a bird nest or roosting site. Removing the nest or sealing off the roosting site can help prevent further infestations.
In addition, insecticide sprays or dusts can be used to kill bird mites on contact. These products should be applied to areas where bird mites are present, such as bedding or furniture. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and use caution when applying these products.
Another option is to use sticky traps, which are designed to attract and trap bird mites. These traps can be placed in areas where bird mites are likely to be present, such as around windows or near bird nests.

Bird mites are tiny parasites that feed on the blood of birds, and they can also bite humans and cause skin irritation and other problems. While bird mites are commonly associated with birds, not all birds are hosts to these mites. Bird mites are typically associated with species of birds that nest or roost in or around homes, buildings, and other structures. Some of the bird species that are commonly associated with bird mite infestations include pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and swallows. However, it's important to note that even if a bird species is known to harbor bird mites, not all individuals of that species will necessarily be infested. Additionally, bird mites can survive for a short time without a host, so they can also be present in the environment even if there are no birds around. If you suspect that you have a bird mite infestation, it's important to contact a pest control professional for help. They can identify the source of the infestation and develop an effective treatment plan to eliminate the mites from your home
