General information about dust mites
Dust mites can cause a lot of nuisance. Dust mites are tiny mites that commonly inhabit household dust. They thrive in warm and humid environments, especially in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets. Dust mites feed on dead skin cells from humans and pets, and their feces can trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals. You prefer to get rid of the pests as soon as possible.
How do I recognize dust mites?
Dust mites are noticeable due to their rapid, jerky movements. They thrive in buildings, especially in humid conditions where molds can grow well. These tiny creatures feed on molds, algae, lichens, and various types of plant material. They are often found in large numbers in damp basements, crawl spaces, and on materials such as paper, cardboard, reeds, wood, jute, and chipboard.
Dust mites are small, primitive insects, averaging about 2 mm in length, with large heads, laterally placed eyes, and long antennae. Their color varies from white to grayish-brown, and most species found in homes are wingless, although there are also some winged species that live freely.
What about do-it-yourself remedies from the internet or the store?
Lice develop faster in more humid environments. The optimal temperature for dust mites ranges between 20 and 25°C, which corresponds to most households. Therefore, effectively controlling dust mites primarily focuses on addressing moisture issues, followed by thorough drying and ventilation of the environment. Increasing the temperature above 30°C can also help in killing the mites. Using insecticides without addressing the underlying cause is ineffective, as otherwise the pest will simply return.

What are the treatment methods against dust lice?
The cause of dust mites often lies with a moisture problem. The problem should always be addressed at the source, otherwise the creature will quickly return after treatment. When Eversor performs a treatment, the exterminators always first search for the cause of the infestation. The cause must be repaired. This may include repairing leaking pipes, improving ventilation, and removing moist materials. Then it’s important to thoroughly dry and ventilate the environment. This helps to make the living conditions less favorable for the dust mites. Then chemical treatment methods can be considered.
Chemical method
For persistent problems, chemical extermination may be a solution. A professional exterminator, like Eversor, may use biocides. After identifying the risk areas, contact insecticides are sprayed during a crack and crevice treatment. The problem should be resolved quickly after this.
