  Things aren’t fixed, far from it, but after hoovering and spraying twice daily, it’s starting to improve.
  
  I’ve been sleeping on my exes floor on a blow up bed for the last two weeks, running a dehumidifier and hepa filter air purifier (we live in the UK so it’s been so cold). I abandoned all of my clothes at my old house with my housemate (she wasn’t getting bitten). I’ve been hoovering and spraying twice a day. I don’t know if the Hoover is actually helping or hindering to be honest. I’ve just also brought a steamer. I’m hoping that when I move into my new place next week (wood floors) that I can finally escapee these bastards or at least have them down to a minimum. I’m considering putting down plastic floor roll when I get there, just to mean it’s even harder for them to live. Has anyone tried this? I got the idea from the book mites no more. I feel it might be helpful.
  
  We have to keep fighting this. There is hope. I hope. Maybe I’m wrong. Every time I think they’re getting better they flare up again.

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.
