I've been aflicted with bird mites infestation since last June. I'm using, every day, Sulfur soap for my hair and body. Neem oil at night and Petroleun Jelly all over my body during the day. it sufocates them. You can get the sulfur soap, if you are in NJ, at the PathMart or Shop Rite supermarkets, in the hispanic section, is only 1.59 the bar. The Neem oil (pure) in 5 oz bottles at any  indian incense stores, I get mine at Jersey City, it cost only 5.00 the bottle, it stinks, but it works by repelling the mites and interfering with their reproduction cycle, which happens every 7 days, the smell of the oil will go away once you shower in the morning. You also can use the Arm & Hammer detergent powder (perfum and Dye free), half a cup in a 32 oz water in a sprinkle bottle, spray every thing, let it dry and the residual of the powder will keep killing them. Also you can use the A&H to shampoo your hair and to shower, it will itch, especially where you have cuts and rash, but it works. Wrap your box spring and matress in a plastic matress protector, zipper it up and cover the zipper with a tape, same with the pillow ( you can find this cover in WalMart). Separate your bed from the wall, make it an island, change your sheets every day, for a while.  Spread "20 mule Borax" ( a laundry booster) all over the floor, in your bedroom, under your bed, along the walls, all over the floor! this will keep them from crawling on you, vacuum every 5 days, and spread new one again. Make your bedroom OFF LIMIT to any pet that you may have. Treat your pet too, don't just get rid of it, is not its fault. I use Neem leaf powder on my cat, is non toxic, it does on my cat what the oil does on my skin. DO NOT Apply Neem oil on your pet, is toxic, it will be ingested everytime your pet groomes. Tha's is why I use Neem leaf powder on my cat, it will be ingested once it start grroming himself so I wont have to force a Neem capsule down his troat. Consume garlic ( at least 3 cloves a day) and take Neem leaf capsules (at leat 6 a day), this is to make your blood distasteful to them, the more you taste and smell like a salad the faster they will leave your body and run away from you. Also Lysol desinfectant, Dawn detergen, Windex with AmmoniaD are good for spraying. Spray your shower with clorox/water after every use. NEVER mix Ammonia with clorox or bleach, gases are highly toxic and could be fatal. Also Mites hate mint, I burn every day menthol crystals in my oil burner in my bedroom while I'm cleaning and changing my sheets.  Try using non-cotton clothing as much as possible, they breed in cotton or any natural fiber. Also Bounce laundry sheets (the fresh air) are good to keep them away from your stored clothing and to place inside your shoes and in the groin area. Finally once a week cover yourself all over in Aquaphor, is messy, but it works, it  suffocates them. Cut your hair if you have it long, there is no place for vanity when you're fighting bird or rodent mites, long hair is not practical if you need to shampoo your hair twice a day, besides your hair will grow back. Shampooing and showering with scrubbing EVERY DAY are very important in winning the fight against the mites. And please if you are going to try Ivermectin follow a doctor prescription, because is dangerous, DO NOT precribe it yourself, even if you can get it online, IS DANGEROUS, you could go to sleep feeling well and not wake up again. Good luck!
