Why do dust mites come?
House Dust Mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinusand D. farinae are the most common species of house dust mites in North Carolina . These tiny mites are most abundant in warm, humid areas. Contrary to popular belief, house dust mites do not bite or sting. They feed on shed human skin scales that collect in the dust on furniture, particularly mattresses, and on carpeting below beds. House dust mites are important medically because they produce allergens in their secretions and excrement. Inhaling airborne house dust containing mite feces and cast skins is a common cause of asthma in young children. Products containing benzoyl benzoate and other ingredients are often used for severe infestations of house dust mites. However, the long-term solution to reducing a house dust mite problem is sanitation and environmental modifications: * Vacuum (possibly with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner) frequently and thoroughly to remove mites and the organic debris on which they feed. Target critical areas, such as: * ** mattresses and bed frames ** rugs and carpets (especially under beds) ** overstuffed furniture (and the area underneath) * Change air conditioner filters frequently and maintain low (less than 50%) humidity indoors to reduce conditions favorable to dust mites. * Encase mattresses and pillows in plastic covers and change bed linen frequently to help prevent mite populations from building up
