How do we control and prevent bird lice?
While there are some methods you can use to handle bird mites, you should call a professional exterminator when you aren’t sure if your pests are bird lice or another biting bug, or if you are worried have a severe infestation.
At Allstate, we have a 5 step, proven process for controlling bird mites.
Inspection
To ensure a successful treatment, we first conduct a thorough inspection and assessment of the building.
Bird nest location and removal
Abandoned bird nests can be the source of a bird mite outbreak. That’s why we will locate and remove any bird nests to prevent new mites from moving into your home.
Safe and effective treatment
With a plan in place, we will carry out treatment with insecticide powder and surface spray. All products we use to prevent bird lice are safe for people and pets and are approved by the Australian Veterinary Medicines and Pesticide Authority.
Follow-up treatment
Because the pest’s eggs can take a few days to hatch, bird mites can and do return after the first treatment. So, for more severe infestations, we will attend to carry out a follow-up treatment to remove the second wave.
Report
We will provide you with a report outlining our findings and treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bird Lice
Are bird mites dangerous?
While the mites themselves are not generally considered dangerous, they pose a threat to people and pets with allergies. Allergic responses from a bird lice bite can vary from mild to severe enough to require medical treatment.
How can you tell if you have bird lice?
Bird mite infestations can be hard to detect, as the bugs are small, and the bites they cause are similar to other biting insects. If you are waking with small, swollen, red bites, you should consult a professional pest control tech. They can assess if bed bugs, fleas, or bird lice are present so that the appropriate treatment can be carried out.
How do you treat bird lice bites?
Once bitten, you should rinse and gently scrub your skin with water and soap to remove any mites and disinfect the bites. Then you can apply over-the-counter anti-itch products. If your pet has been bitten, take it to the vet as it may require medication.
How do you prevent bird mites?
- Regularly maintain bird cages, including chicken pens, with thorough cleaning.
- Maintain a clean home by vacuuming carpets frequently and regularly washing bed linen, clothing, and pet bedding.
- Check over new pets and birds before bringing them into your home—if you cannot thoroughly check them yourself, you can have a vet check them.
- Perform regular building maintenance, including blocking any entry points for birds, such as unused chimneys, vents, and gaps in roofing.
- Clean and maintain your solar panels to prevent birds from nesting.
