  I’m three years into this and running out of ideas. I know I can kill them in the house absolutely no problem (kleen green and bleach)
  
  But the issue is that they are living and breeding in my feet and I just can’t get them out.
  
  I’ve done everything, sulphur, nu stock, neem, kleen green, tea tree, but no matter what they just keep coming. I’m loving an ok life now compared to what it was, but I just want my life back.
  
  If anyone has any ideas please let me know

  Hydrogen peroxide (wet on paper towel) as a spot treatment? Aloe vera gel? salicylic acid pads?

  I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide and it didn’t work. The problem is that I can kill them with kleen green etc but because they are so deep in the skin, it can’t reach them. The aloe Vera may potentially be worth a try but I think I’ll have the same issue xx

Recommended Treatment Provider

We recommend you use a licensed professional to address a bird mite problem. Don’t wait or the problem will get much worse and more expensive to treat. We have a list of pest control companies that are specifically qualified to treat bird mites.

They come to your house for no charge and give a free estimate.
Even if you decide not to use them, you get free professional advice.
Most pest control companies have never dealt with bird mites before. You need to use a bird mite specialist.

Follow this link to find a Qualified Local Exterminator near you.

Keep in mind that if bird mites are not treated correctly, even if the correct chemicals are used, they can become resistant to those chemicals. Don’t use a pest control company unless they have extensive experience treating bird mites.

Also, many of our readers have followed up with (or used outright) natural solutions and pesticide-free, such as on our Treatments Protocols page Follow this link to that page.

Natural and DIY Solutions

In addition to local exterminators, we offer a list of other natural, non-pesticide and/or do-it-yourself products that we have found helpful on our Treatments Protocol page. Follow this link to the Treatments Protocols page.
