  I’ve found ways to keep them off you. Roll on deodorant. I’m using sure motion sense. I’m still getting some bites but can no longer feel them crawling on my legs. I’m hoping keeping them off me just means now eliminating them in the environment??
  
  I don’t think it matters what deodorant it is, I think it’s more a case of making yourself harder to live on because of the deodorant residue. I’ve also been using batiste dry shampoo to keep them out of my hair. Again, I think it’s more to do with the residue than anything else, but I promise you the deodorant will help keep some of them off your skin. Xx

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.
