Have you been experiencing crawling, biting, or itching sensations and can not figure out the cause? There is a good chance your home may have a mite infestation problem or it could be bed bugs. Members of the tick family, the majority of mites are usually harmless pests, mostly feeding on stored food. Rodent and bird mites, however, are blood feeders and can become biting nuisances on humans. If you or a member of your family suspects that they are being bitten by these tiny bloodsuckers, it is important to take the proper steps in order to effectively control an indoor mite infestation.
What are mites?
Barely the size of a period, common types of home-invading species are the tropical rat mite, the tropical fowl mite, and the northern fowl mite. The tropical rat mite can be found on rats, whereas the fowl mite species originate from wild or domestic birds. Although neither of these species can live and breed on human hosts, they freely bite people, frequently causing itching and a number of other skin conditions.
Where can I find mites?
The first step you are going to want to take is to look for all potential bird or rodent sources. To find out if you have a bird or rodent mite infestation, search around the outside of the house for any bird or rodent nests, and consider professional rodent removal if you discover signs of activity.
Mite Infestation Inspection Instructions
- Look under eaves or inspect tree branches that are in close contact to your house.
- Carefully inspect your attic, crawl spaces, porches and decks.
- If you think these mites have found a way into your home, check doorways, window sills, electrical outlets, air vents, and drains.
How to collecting mites?
In order for pest control companies to effectively remove your unwanted guests, you will have to get some evidence of your mite problem. Usually, biting is the first sign of an infestation, so finding and gathering them from your skin is a good place to start. To do this, use a small piece of tissue paper dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove them from your skin. Once you have collected them, place them in a small vial or plastic container. Using sticky traps around your home is also an effective tool for capturing mites. Once you have some samples, you can have a pest control specialist verify the exact kind of pest problem you have and the best method to eliminate them. Many companies that offer mite removal also provide rodent control services, ensuring your home stays protected from multiple types of pests.
