I hope that someone has had more luck than me. We have spent over $10,000 on extermination companies that told us they would get rid of the pests. Most of them kept telling us it couldn’t be bird mites because they can’t live on human blood. Unfortunately, they seem to be doing just fine on mine. We have been fighting them for 3 years now. The problem started when a bird built a nest in our bathroom exhaust fan duct. During the same time, we had to open up a wall due to a water leak. This hole gave the mites an entry point once the birds left the next. At first we thought it was bedbugs. The first exterminator treated us for this pest. Nothing they used was working. We had them coming back weekly for several months, using a variety of pesticides and nothing worked. After using all of the extermination companies and paying so much money, we still have the mites. We have no more money to spend. I have been using multiple pesticides, natural oils, etc. We still have them. Our home is completely infested. Of course, it is impossible to sleep at night. We tried to get a positive identification from our local Health Department. No luck there. They came in and took samples three different times. I layer different repellents on my skin in order to help keep them away, but even these aren’t helping. The mites seem to bite right through them. (I vacuum daily, spray with alcohol, wash bedding, etc. daily in hot water with Borax. Nothing has worked.) I am looking for any new product that may help.
