Dust mites are actually arachnids and not insects. They are microscopic eight legged creatures in the spider family. Dust mites are approximately 3 mm long. 7,000 of them could fit on your fingernail. They live on dead human skin cells we all shed. In fact, dead skin cells comprise 80% of household dust. When the amount of exposure to dust mites reaches a certain limit, you will develop an allegic reaction to both the dust mite and the dust mite droppings.
Since the early 2000’s dust mite populations, and dust mite allergic reactions have been on the rise. While no one is sure what is the cause of this rise, everyone agrees that the rise is causing more homes to be above the allergen threshold.
Dust mites live in your carpets, upholstery, drapes, pillows, and mattresses. While they can be anywhere in your house, the bedroom is where your family is most exposed to them. We spend about 8 hours a day in bed. We shed dead skin cells, breath out warm moist air, and thereby provide the dust mite everything it needs to live. Red Carpet Floor Care will work with you to make your bedrooms allergy free zones.
