How to do it:
Seal cracks and crevices in walls and windows.
Wash and dry infested items at high temperatures.
Vacuum regularly to remove mites and eggs.
Use double-sided tape around storage areas.
Store goods in airtight containers.
Remove bird nests near your property.

Result:
Reduces the risk of bird mite infestation and protects goods from damage.

Problem:
Method may fail if nests are hidden, mites are already inside goods, or sealing is incomplete.

How to do it:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray affected areas, fabrics, and surfaces where bird mites are present. Let it air dry. Repeat daily until mites are gone.

Result:

• Repels and kills bird mites naturally
• Safe for most surfaces and fabrics
• Non-toxic for humans and pets
• Easy and inexpensive to make

Problem:
This method may not eliminate all mites or their eggs, especially in severe infestations or hidden areas, requiring professional pest control.

How to do it:
Physically remove bird nests and seal entry points to prevent bird mites from entering storage areas.

Result:

• Remove all visible bird nests near goods storage.
• Clean and vacuum affected areas thoroughly.
• Seal cracks, vents, and gaps with caulk or mesh.
• Install screens on windows and vents.
• Regularly inspect and maintain barriers.

Problem:
This method may fail if nests or mites are hidden, or if new entry points develop, allowing reinfestation.

How to do it:
Use predatory mites (like Hypoaspis miles) to control bird mites naturally.

Result:

• Place predatory mites near entry points and infested areas.
• Remove bird nests close to your house.
• Seal cracks and gaps in windows, doors, and walls.
• Clean and vacuum regularly to remove mites and eggs.
• Monitor for mite activity and reapply predatory mites if needed.

Problem:
This method may fail if predatory mites do not establish well indoors, if bird nests are not fully removed, or if entry points are not properly sealed, allowing reinfestation.

How to do it:
Mix 1 part permethrin concentrate with 19 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray infested areas, cracks, and storage spaces. Repeat every 7 days for 3 weeks. Wear gloves and a mask during application. Remove food and pets from the area before spraying.

Result:

• Kills bird mites on contact
• Prevents re-infestation with regular use
• Reduces risk of damage to goods

Problem:
Method may fail if mites are hidden in inaccessible areas, if eggs survive treatment, or if permethrin resistance develops.
