  So I’ve been battling bird mites for 5 months now. It’s been a nightmare! I finally found that using ivermectin horse dewormer, actually taking it myself, has worked for my hair and skin. I put it in my conditioner and I use miracle grow in my drains and spray my carpet and walls and it seems to be working effectively. Not to mention washing clothes daily. I actually had to move out of my apt and move in with my best friend/ boyfriend. I accidentally infested his apt but he doesn’t have as much carpet, thank God! My hair is returning to normal and the mites have stopped biting for the most part. This has been the worst experience of my entire life! We mop the floors daily with alcohol 91% and wash all bedding and clothes daily. Lavender dryer sheets and awesome orange cleaner kill mites in the clothes and bedding. You can get that from Dollar Tree. I’m actually changing my course of studies in school from medical billing and coding to science and entomology because I’ve used everything and then some to try to get rid of them and actually taking baths in concentrated pesticides. I ended up having congested heart failure because of those infestation. So it’s been rough but I am praying that it will all end soon.

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
