  Hi..thank you so much for all your helpful info. I have them in my car. 🙁 I was wondering your thoughts on if I was to take it to the desert for a couple of days if it would do anything? It’s about 110 there now.
  
  Thank u

  That might do it. You could also try putting a dehumidifier in it overnight for a few weeks. They get desiccated without moisture. Good luck!
  
  Another two strategies are vacuuming morning and night plus spraying with about 75% proof alcohol and wiping it down. Do this consistently and daily.

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.
