Confused Bird Mites

Good morning YT family!
After much time away Im back with a question.
Sophie and MAx had been scratching, but I haven't been able to find a flea on them.Up today on their Front line Plus treatment, flea shampoo( which I keep only for emergencies) Down detergent, cleaning, and more cleaning.
Yesterday while I removed the water in my vacuum I saw some tyyyyyni little things in the water. My son comented that he was feeling something crawling on him while he was in his room, but he couldnt see what it was.I thought it was allergies.
Long story short, 3 weeks agao we found a bird nest underneath the suffit, outside my son's bedroom, I wasn't going to remove it, I did what I thought it was right, just to leave there and once the had left the nest, I would remove it and close the screen the broke.They left, and also left bird mites!
Everything I've read is alarming, "they reproduced
by the hundreds" and Im sure pretty soon this wil be an infestation, if it is not already.
The pesticides are toxic, and since I have to spray them in the attic, Im afraid that this could harm my babies.
So here come my question.Have any of you experience this? What should I use/do? It is something I have to battle " yesterday" but dont even know where to start.
Suggestion pleeease.
