PestExtra: Bird Mites Environmentally Tricky, Socially Misunderstood, Technically Still Challenging

[@jbabs100]

Thank You for your video. I have suffered from some sort of Mite or Midges for 4 years. It almost killed me. Through trial and error I have made some progress in controlling them. I use Termidor plus an additive for interrupting their cycle. I use a blue light irradiation every day. I also use a Dyson air purifier and wash my bedding twice a week. I have to make sure I completely blow dry my hair. I wanted to post incase I am able to help anyone.

[@oliviasenghor7289]

Hello ...what is terminador plus and blue light ? It would help me to understand since I am also suffering from having them on my scalp and skin not able to stop the cycle and eradicate the eggs

[@shellbell8062]

Do they live on you? If so I would HIGHLY recommend a diet with zero sugar. That means no oat or almond milk either. Nothing processed as there are hidden sugars in there. I also had them for 3 years and with a completely natural diet they go. I don't even eat ketchup. It has to be COMPLETELY NATURAL.

Oi can't believe I found this, I live in the US , ARKANSAS, I've suffered for 2years with mites, I've slowed them but never completey rid my body of this infestation. I am at my wits end, I've tried everything and learned so much about this subject I feel I could write a book, I need help but there is no help here, I've lost so much this has completely changed my life in a negative way, I miss how things use to be before the mites came,

[@mspinchey]

Have you tried PremoGuard mite killer? After one spraying, I have reduced their numbers significantly on the mattress. I took apart the bed and sprayed all sides. You should spray for 2 weeks. I washed all bed rails with Murphy’s oil soap and used Windex wipes on metal parts. Spray PremoGuard on window sills and carpeting. Wash down windows with Windex wipes. Spray outside window frames and doors with neem oil. Walmart has a good size spray bottle that is inexpensive. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Use a lint roller on sheets, mattresses, and clothes, especially before wearing. Get an antifungal shampoo. Use aloe Vera gel on affected areas of the body.

I was recently infected by bird mites, doctor gave me permethrin and able to find the corpse of a few bird mites

[@lunabear9871]

Is permethrin working for you. Same just 2 days ago i got infected by bird mites becuz there was a dove nest nesting besides our window of our other room. I used to go and check them and soemtimes take care of them so during this one visit i stayed for too long over there and these dumb mites climbed up on me without me realizing m for the past 2 days I couldn't sleep and couldn't think of anything else other than these mites . There's red lesions on my body but ATM mostly on my left arm. I can't even sleep at night, I am afraid they might get into the orifices of my body like ear holes nostrils anus naval etc. So I have been staying up at night for the past 2 days. It's tiring already. I have slabbed on sanitizer on my body to kill these mites, I think these mites might die from alcohol on contact but I couldn't catch them despite applying sanitizer on my whole body. And I have applied a mixture of tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil and rubbed vix vapour up. My head has been itching I really hope it's out of street and not that those mites have climbed up to my hair.

O lord 😮 I feel your pain 💔 I have been fighting them for years ! Its very frustrating 😑 People say you are crazy 😡 their are not bugs 😤 its my medicine. Ok well my dog doesn't take medicine .

[@britpestcontrol]

Hi there - a pest professional will be able to monitor for insect pests in your home with non-toxic traps. From there they'll be able to suggest a treatment if they find anything. If they don't find something then you might be best contacting a medical professional, as they can test for things that cause itching/biting sensations that pest professionals can't. Hope it gets resolved for you soon.

[@____s460]

How about making your body taste repulsive to them? As some people are affected, while others are not! Ayurvedic doctors understand this better from what I’ve seen. Some people have had success by consuming purified sulphur, Neem and NAC - all 2x daily. Others by consuming bitter mellon/gourd or garlic. Look into it!

[@____s460]

Also consuming sweets makes it worse, so cut that out as well as getting your yeast in check. Folks with yeast overgrowth also suffer more! Healing from the inside-out while treating the environment. Heat treating the home (buy your own machines as you’ll need to use it multiple times), ozone machines from froverozone. Inside-out!

[@____s460]

In the animal kingdom, animals that suffer with “mange” which is the same thing, just maybe a slightly different species of mite, recover from consuming sulphur as well as improving their immune system.

[@____s460]

Dogs that consume garlic regularly become mange/tick/mite/flea FREE after 1.5 months of consuming it daily! We need to think outside the box and see how animals recover from this!

My treatment worked 100% in a week. Flea powder on the carpet. 3 days later i used a jug of flea & tic or small bug spray_with A pump. It didn't take much. Sprayed alongside the corner of the walls and floor and bed legs they crawled up and fed on mom. The source was the nest we removed. I seen 1000's crawling from the nest in line like ants into my house. wash everything after their gone wash everything. 100% of the mites have been gone for at least five years now. Don't use this method with children in the house. I would put my work clothes in the freezer at night to prevent me from taking bugs to work. Guess I was lucky. I still have the same jug of the insect killer.

[@Johnyrocket70]

I had a basket hanging bird nest under my balcony roof for decades. The doves showed up the nest was full of mites. Millions of eggs hatched they marched in my house and ate up my elderly mom that live with me. They crawled around tablet screen's during the day and ate mom at night. We got rid of the nest and I sprinkled flea powder on the carpet it didn't work. I got a jug of flea and tick or small bug spray. I sprayed it along sides of the floor/wall and bed posts they crawled up to feed on mom. They didn't like my diet so they didn't eat much of me. The spray worked in a few days they were all gone. Wash all your sheets and carry on.
