Bird Lice/Mite Control

Bird lice/mites are a blood-sucking parasite of birds and become a problem with people once they are separated from their host. Birds build nests typically in eaves, bringing with them the mites. When the birds leave their nests permanently or die, the mites leave the nest in search of a new host. Their route of travel is usually down wall cavities and through ventilators. They attack humans leaving an itchy rash. They can only survive two to three weeks without a feed from their usual host.

Bird lice/mites are controlled by dusting the nesting and roof void with insecticidal dust. Wall cavities can also be dusted through the vents.
