How to Get Rid of Microscopic Bird Mites
- 1). Prevent bird mites from entering your house, or find and eliminate the source. Remove all bird feeders and bird houses, trim any trees that grow close to your house and remove any bird nests that have been built against your house (in the eaves or under A/C units). Always wear rubber gloves when performing this type of work.
- 2). Spray all areas with a miticide to kill any remaining mites.
- 3). Remove and wash your clothes immediately. Remove and discard the rubber gloves.
- 4). If your house has been infested with bird mites, use the miticide inside your house. Put the miticide powder into a hand duster, and dust it into the cracks in walls, the floor boards and into any crawl spaces. If you have a spray miticide, spray it into these places as well.
- 5). Place a miticide fogger in your house (similar to a flea bomb), and follow the instructions on the packaging to fumigate your house against bird mites.
- 6). Vacuum your carpet daily until you're sure that your house is free of bird mites.
