Clearing the Air: Proven Methods to Minimize Dust Mite Presence in Your Home

Dust mites are microscopic pests that can cause severe allergies and asthma symptoms. They feed on dead skin and thrive in humid, dark environments like bedding and carpets. Symptoms of dust mite allergies include sneezing, coughing, and skin irritation.

To manage these pests, it's recommended to keep homes clean and dry by washing fabrics in hot water, using allergen-proof covers, and maintaining low humidity. Regular cleaning and vacuuming are crucial, but air purifiers are not effective against dust mites.

Professional help may be required if these measures do not alleviate symptoms.
