The problem

Mite Control That Gets to the Source

Mites are tiny relatives of spiders, and there are many kinds. Some feed on plants, some on birds or rodents, and some, like chiggers, bite people in the yard.

Getting the identification right matters, because a bird mite problem from a nest in the eaves needs a very different fix than chiggers in the lawn.

Signs of mites

  • Itchy bites after time in the yard
  • Tiny red or moving specks on surfaces
  • Activity near a bird or rodent nest
  • Mites on window sills or walls
  • Speckled or damaged plant leaves

Why here

Why Mites Are So Common in Louisiana

Warm weather and thick vegetation keep mites active for much of the year in Louisiana. Bird and rodent mites often show up after the host animal leaves a nest near or inside the home.

Questions

Mites Questions

Are chiggers mites?

Yes. Chiggers are mite larvae that live in grass and brush and leave itchy bites around ankles and waistbands.

Why are mites in my house?

Often a bird or rodent nest nearby was abandoned and the mites went looking for a new host.
