House dust mites are microscope bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal
pets. Dust mites are harmless to most people. They don't carry diseases, but they can cause allergic reactions in
asthmatics and others who are allergic to their feces.
Skin cells and scales, commonly called dander, are often concentrated in lounging areas, mattresses, frequently used
furniture and associated carpeted areas, often harbor large numbers of these microscopic mites. Since the average
human sloughs off 1/3 ounce (10 grams) of dead skin a week. That gives dust mites a lot to eat. Cats and dogs create far
more dander for dust mites to eat.
A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites. Sick yet? Nearly 100,000 mites can live in one square yard
of carpet. Ready to convince your spouse to start bathing regularly? Did you know a single dust mite produces about 20
waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic. Yuck! The proteins in that
combination of feces and shed skin are what cause allergic reactions in humans. Depending on the person and exposure,
reactions can range from itchy eyes to asthma attacks. And finally, unlike other types of mites, house dust mites are not
parasites, since they only eat dead tissue. Gross, but true.
| Below are some facts about dustmites and pet dander and some tips for keeping them to a minimum! |
| How You can Keep Dust Mites and Dander to a Minimum! Regular vacuuming of your carpets and upholstery will reduce the amount of these pests in your home. When you remove the dander, you leave less for the mites to feed on. We recommend that you vacuum your upholstery and bedding at least once monthly and carpets at least twice weekly...more often if you have pets in the house. Regular carpet shampooing with non professional equipment helps as well as regular changes of your A/C intake filter. Another helpful tip is to never use feather dusters as you will only move the dust around, use a microfiber towel or equivalent to trap the dust keeping it out of your families air. We recommend bi-yearly professional carpet cleaning if you have pets in the home, and yearly otherwise. It's a good idea also to have your more most frequently used furniture professionally cleaned once a year |
