Treatment of<unk>  can be difficult; avian mites have developed resistance to multiple pesticides and the different species concerned display varied ecologies that necessitate divergent treatment approaches. For a patient to achieve full recovery, the mites must be eradicated from the person's environment through the removal of nests and appropriate disinfestation of infested areas by a pest control professional. Total eradication can be difficult to achieve as D. gallinae can survive for longer than nine months without a blood meal and is capable of both digesting and completing its life cycle on human blood alone. Additionally, populations can expand rapidly, with a single female capable of laying up to "30 eggs in their lifetime"; prolonged darkness has been found to significantly promote mite population growth.Feral pigeon nests are common sources of avian mites and should be removed as part of the treatment process.Patients are advised to: * Shower frequently to remove mites from their skin and hair. * Washing clothes and bedding at temperatures, at or above 60 °C. * Remove the source of the mites, such as infested animal shelters, cages and nests. * Perform regular intensive vacuum cleaning and steam cleaning — the vacuum bag should be placed in a sealed bag and thrown away outside in a contained bin. * Disinfect infested household items and areas with effective acaricides such as pyrethroids. * Washing of textiles or steam cleaning (cushions, carpets, curtains) at or above 60 °C, and drying them using an automated laundry drier. * Dust infested areas with amorphous silica gels such as CimeXa. * Heat treat their residence — raising the temperature of their living space above 55 °C for a sustained period. * Reduce the relative humidity of their home below 55%. Fluralaner, an effective acaricide, available commercially as Bravecto may be administered to cats and dogs after consulting a vet. Antihistamines and topical corticosteroids can be used for temporary relief of symptoms. Certain essential oils are known to have an acaricide effect on avian mites. Cardboard traps impregnated with neem extracts or other acaricides can be used to reduce avian mite populations. In the case of scalp infestation, treatments with 1% permethrin shampoo can be used to remove the mites. For ear canal infestation, aural toilet is recommended with a course of 1% permethrin to be used as ear drops and for infected wax to be removed by a professional. Ineffective and often prolonged attempts to eradicate infestations commonly result in economic issues, due to a significant financial outlay when patients relocate or attempt to control these infestations.
