      Hi all. I realised that I had a bird nest above my back door. Neighbour told me to leave it as when the little ones grow big enough they will leave the nest. They did so about ten days ago. In the last ten days I have found one little crawler on me on three separate occasions. After researching and finding out that they are bird mites I have been on the internet and now I am terrified! I cannot see them anywhere in the house, no red specks or black. Just the odd one three time’s. I have put head lice treatment on us all, boil washed all bedding and vacuumed everywhere. I do have a dog and her favourite spot is in the back garden not far from the nest and I have read they can float down and land on a host. I have ready that they cannot be got rid of, but then I have read that they will die out without a bird host? Please help! I have photo and video evidence but don’t know how to upload?

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.
