Mites Control
Acari
Mites are tiny arachnids related to spiders and ticks. While some species can bite or trigger allergies, many suspected mite infestations are actually caused by other pests or environmental factors.
How to Identify Mites
Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Mites have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:
- Usually microscopic and impossible to see without magnification
- Eight legs (in adult stage)
- Some species (like bird mites) appear as tiny moving specks
- Do not have wings or antennae
Are Mites Dangerous?
Most mites are harmless. Dust mites can trigger allergies and asthma. Scabies mites (a medical issue) cause intense itching. Bird and rodent mites may bite humans when their primary hosts are gone.
Why Do I Have Mites?
Bird or rodent mites enter homes through nesting activity. Dust mites naturally occur in fabrics and bedding. Scabies is spread through human contact.
How to Prevent Mites
While professional treatment is often necessary for an active infestation, you can take proactive steps to make your property less attractive to Mites:
