Bird Mites are very small and are closely related to ticks. Like ticks, certain types of mites are parasitic on humans and will occasionally infest home and office buildings.
Bird mites can adapt and survive in a human environment when the original host is no longer viable. The infestations can affect people with a bird’s nest near the home with nesting pigeons, people with pets or other animals which are infested, people who obtain used furniture, carpet, clothing, etc, that has been infested. This can also include guests of hotels, office workers and others, when the buildings are inhabited by nesting birds.

What are Bird Mites?
Bird mites’ is a collective term for a number of different types of mites that are parasites of different bird species such as pigeons, sparrows, and poultry.
They are tiny little arachnids relative to ticks and spiders.
These avian mites can be found in low numbers, close to birds, their nests, and poultry houses, but, if the conditions are favourable, their colony can grow to thousands.
Bird mites feed on the blood, skin, and keratin of birds. If these hosts are not present, mites can ingress into properties in search for food where they can bite humans and pets such as dogs and cats.
Where do Bird Mites live?
The conditions for bird mites are warm and moist conditions. They usually live in close proximity to pigeon or other bird nesting areas. This is why they are often found in upstairs in properties where nests are present in attic spaces or roof spaces.
They will travel distances to find food if a nest doesn’t provide them with the food they need. Inside properties, pigeon mites usually gravitate towards the windows and ceilings and loft spaces. Once inside, mites will burrow into fabric material, cracks, and crevices to lay their eggs.
Can Bird Mites live on humans or pets?
Bird mites are adaptable and can infest a variety of mammals such as dogs, cats, mice, rats, and other domestic animals.
Even if there are no nests nearby mites can travel on other animals into homes and businesses.
If there are no animal hosts available the bird mite will bite humans although usually, the insect can’t survive on human blood alone.
Bird mites require a host to survive, so they will usually die within three weeks if they do not find one.
Because of their tiny size, mites are extremely difficult to identify and very difficult to eradicate / control.

Bird Mite FAQs for Herefordshire & Worcestershire Residents
Can bird mites transmit diseases to humans
Bird mites are primarily considered a nuisance pest rather than disease vectors. While their bites can cause irritation and discomfort, they are generally not known to transmit diseases to humans. However, it's important to keep the bites clean and prevent scratching to avoid potential secondary infections.
Are bird mites only active during certain seasons?
Bird mites can be active throughout the year, but their activity levels may vary depending on the availability of bird nests or suitable hosts. However, it's worth noting that bird mite infestations may become more apparent in the spring and summer when bird breeding and nesting activity increase.
Can bird mites infest indoor pet birds in the UK?
Yes, bird mites can infest indoor pet birds. If your pet bird has been in contact with wild birds, or if there is an infestation in your home, there is a risk of bird mites transferring to your pet bird. It's important to regularly inspect and clean the bird's living area, including cages, perches, and toys, and seek veterinary assistance if you suspect a bird mite infestation in your pet bird.
Can bird mites live on humans or pets?
Bird mites prefer birds and do not live long-term on humans or pets, but may bite when their host is absent.
