= Big trouble!
Lice are similar to fleas in character, as they are small blood-sucking parasites that are predominantly found living on birds, using them as their host, and subsequently around the nest.
Lice typically prefer birds over humans as their host, however, they have been known to infest large urban areas such as the Gold Coast.

Types of Lice
There are many different species of lice, each of which prefers a certain species of bird host. On poultry farms, lice can infest an entire population of birds, as well as the barns and people that work with the birds. A more common urban scenario is that birds such as pigeons and sparrows migrate and nest inside and on top of buildings. Once their host leaves, the lice will crawl down inside of the building to find another host.
Tips for control
Lice may be discovered inside of a building in search of a new host. This situation is best handled by Enviro Guard Pest Management, as correctly identifying the species of louse will determine the appropriate pest management treatment. To prevent lice infestation, bird activity around the building must be eliminated where they either perch or nest. These areas often require treatment to eliminate any wandering lice.
