Bird Mites In Clothes. Unlike scabies mites bird mites are not thought to burrow under human skin. Wash everything in boiling water and a powerful detergent.
In outdoor environments bird mites typically transfer to humans by way of crawling up pant legs or floating down from tree branches. This includes your clothes bed sheets and blankets. Under a back deck on a patio light fixture in a gutter or a damaged soffit area or in a shrub just outside a bedroom window.
Bird Mites love to reproduce in a soft and comfortable environment.
A mite infestation can be very serious and chronic. And while Im definitely not an expert in mites bird lice are technically mites I thought it was worth sharing what we did. You can find bird mite nests in places like window edges on the walls in roof holes and other places. They can also transfer to clothing when passing through shrub thickets and heavily forested areas.
