Lice eaters, or Trichodex (lat. Trichodectes) are a group of small insects related to mites of the family Trichodectidae. Adult lice eaters are about 0.3 mm in size and their body is covered with hairs. They feed on the blood of a host, usually a human, although they can also be found in other mammals.

Lice eaters can be found on the scalp, in the hair, or on the skin around the hair. They are common parasites that can cause discomfort and even illness if left untreated.
