Bird Mites

[Luis337]

Not sure where they came from, but they seem to have infected my girlfriend's house. It's possible that mine may also be infected but there is no itching or scratching on my part.

Has anyone ever dealt with bird mites before?

Thanks osoab will be going to a health food store to find it soon.

Pool store man, we use it all around the house to control grubs which controls moles but if you use it then it also kills worms.

The VERY first thing you have to do is LOCATE the BIRD'S NEST.

I've eradicated bird mites before and it is NOT EASY & NOT FUN !!!

The nest could be right next to the house or IN the house. you cannot do anything to help get rid of them until that nest is found & removed.

You have to walk around & look for any vents that are broken/open & allowing the birds to get in.
Check around all windows....look anywhere & everywhere outside until you find the nest. (check attic also)

Once the nest is gone then you can do the diamaceous earth.

One time, some bird or birds had gotten into a vent & made a SIX FOOT LONG NEST. I kid u not.
A ventilation cover had broken off & they got in & you know the rest of the story. Bird Mite Hell !

GOOD LUCK !
