We specialise in comprehensive pest control services and can provide tailored solutions for all pests. Rex Pest Control will successfully protect your home from lice.
The head louse is an obligate ectoparasite of humans that causes head lice infestation. Head lice are wingless insects spending their entire lives on the human scalp and feeding exclusively on human blood. A bird louse is any chewing louse that parasitizes warm-blooded animals, especially birds. Bird lice may feed on feathers, skin or blood. Almost all domestic birds are hosts for at least one species of bird louse.
Bird lice will usually wander away from a vacated birds nest. Be aware of the lice in late spring and early summer. They will look for an appropriate host and frequently find the person in the closest residence. If you happen to notice bird lice in your home, make sure you immediately call us! Rex Pest Control offers premium lice pest control. You can also prevent an infestation by removing bird feeders and birdhouses from the yard and even trim tree limbs near the house.
To avoid being the host to unwanted bird mite guests, trim shrubs and over-growth near windows. Use screening to cover chimneys, broken eaves, and other places where birds can build nests on the home.
