      I’ve sent samples to a couple different labs that test for dust mites or other mites that came back as negative. I’m positive that there are biting mites, probably bird mites, in the house.

      Can someone recommend a lab where I can send a sample to be tested?

      I don’t know if any labs are open for mite testing during this corona virus pandemic.

      We used to send samples to a local epidemiologist at a nearby college. They all came back negative as well. I think it’s tough to get a viable sample.

      There are probably biting bird mites in your house. Use ammonia with water to wash your floors and walls, buy a dehumidifier (or two if you have a big house), wash your bathroom with 75% alcohol. Vacuum like crazy everyday, your house and your vehicle.

      Use undiluted Neem oil for your body or Nustock (cut with Aveeno or other type of lotion) and then drink colloidal silver or structured silver. Good luck.

Recommended Treatment Provider

We recommend you use a licensed professional to address a bird mite problem. Don’t wait or the problem will get much worse and more expensive to treat. We have a list of pest control companies that are specifically qualified to treat bird mites.

  • They come to your house for no charge and give a free estimate.
  • Even if you decide not to use them, you get free professional advice.
  • Most pest control companies have never dealt with bird mites before. You need to use a bird mite specialist.

Follow this link to find a Qualified Local Exterminator near you.

Keep in mind that if bird mites are not treated correctly, even if the correct chemicals are used, they can become resistant to those chemicals. Don’t use a pest control company unless they have extensive experience treating bird mites.

Also, many of our readers have followed up with (or used outright) natural solutions and pesticide-free, such as on our Treatments Protocols page Follow this link to that page.

Natural and DIY Solutions

In addition to local exterminators, we offer a list of other natural, non-pesticide and/or do-it-yourself products that we have found helpful on our Treatments Protocol page.  Follow this link to the Treatments Protocols page.
