Bird Lice Pest Control Sydney

Bird lice, also known as bird mites, are similar to bed bugs but target birds instead. They prefer hot and humid conditions, which makes many parts of Australia perfect for them. They infest anywhere birds often stay, which would usually be their nests. Attaching themselves to wings, the bird lice stay with their hosts and feed on their blood to grow. Eventually, the fully grown bird lice lay eggs on the birds’ wings, restarting the cycle.

Bird lice can jeopardise the health of any pet birds or livestock you have. In light cases, there may just be irritation for the bird, but heavy infestations can affect their egg-laying, or even cause death. Aside from treatment from a veterinarian, you may want to look into getting bird lice removal in Sydney.

If bird lice are unable to find suitable hosts due to birds leaving their nests, they may roam buildings in search of a meal, including human blood. Their bites can cause irritation and swelling of the skin, and even infections sometimes if bacteria gets into the wounds.

Call Active Pest Control Management to deal with bird lice treatment in Sydney. Bird lice are tiny and hard to spot, but we use our equipment and experience to help you snuff them out. Our solutions for bird lice removal in Sydney are 100% eco-friendly, harmless to both birds and humans.

Why Do I Have Bird Lice?

Bird lice are ubiquitous in Australia, with several common species. If you own pet birds or poultry, it’s not strange for bird lice to show up in their living areas. The mites may get onto clothing or bags you use, which you then inadvertently bring to your own home.

Non-bird owners who still find bird lice in their property should check their buildings for unwanted bird nests, as they would be the most likely source. After the birds leave their nest, the lice move on to try and find new hosts, sometimes feeding on humans to avoid starvation. Fortunately, bird lice are unable to survive on humans alone and cannot reproduce without new birds, so they will die out by themselves eventually. However, if new birds move into the property, the infestation may continue.

Bird Lice Control Sydney Process - The Active Process

Step 1

Bird Lice Inspection

After getting your call, we’ll come to your home and perform a thorough pest inspection in Sydney. We do this to accurately determine the scope of the pest problem going on, which will influence our methods.

It’s very helpful if you can point out where you’ve seen pests or even where a nest is. However, we will still perform a full inspection of the building in case there is more than one source or nest. Occasionally, there may even be more than one type of pest that you didn’t know about!

Step 2

Bird lice Solution

Based on what we learnt from our inspection, we then decide on suitable countermeasures.

Everything depends on the severity of the infestation; the treatment may range from simply leaving traps or poison for the pests, to full-on application of pesticides and other more powerful treatments. Don’t worry about vacating the premises, thanks to our completely environmentally-friendly and non-toxic pest control solutions.

Step 3

Bird lice Removal specialist Follow-up

After a certain period, we’ll come back to check how effective our solution has been, resetting traps or reapplying pesticides if necessary. If treatment wasn’t as effective as expected, we always have several backup plans. We have a 12-month guarantee on any job, so rest assured that we’re going to stick around and get things done right, letting your property stay pest-free year-after-year.
