What are bird lice?
Bird lice are also known as bird mites and can be found anywhere where birds are kept and where birds have been nesting. Issues mostly occur when the birds leave their nest the lice are forced to go in search of a new host.
They are common in spring and the early months of summer, as the seasons change, an increase in humidity provides ideal breeding conditions for the lice.
Bird Lice can move into living spaces in houses by climbing down walls, ceilings and bedding in search of their new host.

How do you get rid of bird lice?
There are 3 main components in eradicating bird lice from a residential or commercial property
Identification
Correctly identifying bird lice is important in determining how to control infestations. If bites are experienced, one consideration should be bird lice.
Location & Removal of the nest
The best approach for controlling a bird lice infestation is to locate and remove bird nests. In some cases, the nest cannot be reached due to the location inside the roof cavity.
If this is the case, the technician will discuss this further

Preventing birds from taking up home in the roof void is the best way to prevent bird lice.
