\"About<\/a>
Bird Mites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Keeping chickens in your yard is a great way to have a steady supply of eggs, but there\u2019s a drawback. Chicken mites,<\/a> or bird mites, can infest them and make their way into your residence through your attic or window frames. Since they feed on wild birds as well, including sparrows and pigeons, they can also come in from abandoned bird nests. These tiny pests can be brought into your home when they infest pet birds and gerbils at pet stores as well.<\/p>\n

Chicken mites are small pests with an oval shape. Their color is white or gray when they haven\u2019t fed and bright red or black after they\u2019ve had something to eat. Unfortunately, they feed on blood, which means you can expect some bites if you have these pests in your home. Their bites can cause skin irritation and should be checked out by a doctor for proper treatment.<\/p>\n

These mites have also been associated with the spread of St. Louis encephalitis. You can help prevent chicken mites by inspecting chicken coops and pet birds, but make sure you have infestations treated by Monmouth County pest control<\/a> professionals promptly.<\/p>\n

If you have chicken mites in your home, give our Monmouth County pest control experts a call. At Allison Pest Control,<\/a> we can get rid of chicken mites and other pests, so you won\u2019t have to deal with health issues or damage to your property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
