FACTS
about the House Dust Mite
- Dust mites are less than 0.3mm long and live in our beds, carpets
and upholstery, eating flakes of our dead skin.
- They lay enough eggs to produce a new generation of mites every
3 to 4 weeks.
- The tiny faeces they produce, when we breathe them in, are the
MAIN CAUSE of Asthma.
- The bodies of the mites have an unusually high water content,
so they can only thrive in a humid environment.

MYTHS about the House Dust Mite
MYTH: You need to get rid of your carpets and have only wood
floors, tiles or vinyl.
FACT: With the correct treatment followed by deep cleaning,
dust mites and their eggs (as well as their faeces) can be completely
removed from carpets and rugs as well as upholstery. Controlling humidity
also helps.
MYTH: Expensive vacuum cleaners can remove dust mites and their
faeces.
FACT: Although some cleaners do a good job of removing the
faeces, they cannot remove the eggs and will probably leave most of
the mites themselves. These have to be killed by appropriate chemical
treatment. |
