Dust Mite Prevention

Here are some basic tips to prevent dust mites. Of course, the best course of action if you have a problem is to give me a call!

• Frequently change bed linens. If house dust mites are a serious problem, mattress encasement with a cover tested for house dust mites may be helpful
• Vacuum areas frequently using a HEPA filter vacuum
• Keep humidity low when possible; heating or freezing infested fabric may help
• If asthmatic, avoid playing with children or animals on a carpeted area
• This is not a pest which can be controlled easily; a professional pest management firm can inspect and identify mites in living areas and provide further guidance on control. There are very few products available for the control of house dust mites.

If you're concerned that you have dust mites in your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.
