  Thinking about farmers who traditionally fed and dusted their coops with sulfur powder to kill bird mites. Seemed to work. I wonder about putting it in a base of coconut oil and lanolin and using it the way doctors recommend Permethrin, covered head to toe overnight. I bet lavender and rosemary would make it smell good and heal my stressed skin.
  I love the idea of witch hazel, water, wormwood tincture (parasite killer), tea tree oil, oregano oil, and lavender in a spray during the day.

  Sulphur Works a little bit I used it for over a year it makes the skin very dry it’s easier to use 3 tablespoons borax 3 tablespoons powdered Arm & Hammer laundry soap in 32 oz of water. I would take a shampoo and let the ladder up and get it real thick and then pour on that mixture of borax and Arm and Hammer laundry soap and leave at 3 to 8 minutes it took them off for me and many many other posters we’re all free right now. In the environment I use baking soda and washed it well with 1 cup borax and one cup Arm & Hammer powdered version only laundry soap never the liquid the powder contains sodium carbonate it melts glue it’s a feature of sodium carbonate used in wineries to melt the label off the bottles when they’re refilling them. Somehow it interferes with this bug and works well. God bless you email me anytime if you have any questions I was here for years and there was another 250 300 people I knew here and they’re all okay now to my email is the DOE 1769 at yahoo.com oh, my name is Bill

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.
