Dust mites are microscopic. Therefore, they cannot be seen and are hard to be found. They are about a ;ength of 0.5 millimeters. The body of a dust mite contains a striated cuticle, which is a hard yet flexible covering. Dust mites eat flakes of shredded human skin, and any where that has dust. Dust mites can survive in all types of climates except in high altitude. Dust mites are the most common allergen that triggers asthma.
Dust mites are found any place where humidity is. They are most of the time found in warm moist areas, beds, kitchens, and places where the sun rays do not reach. They often remain in mattresses, carpets, furniture and bedding. Some signs of dust mite allergies are: itchiness, sneezing, inflamed/infected eczema, watering eyes, runny nose.
Some ways to control dust mites are cleanliness and thorough vacuuming and also using a high-efficient filter that will reduce the numbers in dust mites including their feces dramatically. A factor that can also help is to control unnecessary moisture as in to air venting, or venting the area. Dust mites die when they are exposed to sunlight, so washing your sheets, pillows, and blankets is highly suggested. If possible, expose your mattress to sunlight for a couple hours or use a dehumidifier to reduce the moisture in the room. You can use Zip it Bug¢â covers (ZIP IT BUG¢â MATTRESS ENCASEMENTS, ZIP IT BUG¢â BED BUG BOX SPRING COVER, ZIP IT BUG¢â PILLOW COVERS) to help control dust mites. These covers allow heat and moisture to transfer out of the mattress while keeping liquids from seeping in which will keep the dust mites from appearing. To be sure of protection from dust mites, be sure to cover you box spring while covering your mattress. Also you can use STERI-FAB and BEDLAM INSECTICIDE SPRAY on your mattresses, box springs, headboards, walls, floors, carpeting, and baseboards. When using STERI-FAB, you should spray the infested area thoroughly and repeatedly directing the spray into all crevices, cracks, and other hiding places to control them. For BEDLAM INSECTICIDE SPRAY, you will need to thoroughly vacuum the entire room concentrating on areas where mites might live (mattresses, box springs, headboards, walls, floors, carpeting, and baseboards). Next, spray the surfaces until damp and when using it on mattresses, remove the covers entirely and allow the spray to dry and then vacuum it thoroughly once more before replacing the bedding. When using BEDLAM INSECTICIDE SPRAY please leave the premises for at least 3 hours.
