Dust Mites Will Die

Dust mites flourish in warm, humid environments, so their populations are higher during the summertime and in warmer climates. They especially love a warm, moist bed full of dead skin. Humans shed two to three pounds of skin a year. Depending on its age, your mattress may contain between 100,000 and 10,000,000 dust mites. Dust mite populations increase rapidly; each egg-laying female can increase the population by 25 or 30 new mites per week. During its 80-day lifespan, the average dust mite produces about 1,000 allergenic waste particles. A half teaspoon of dust can contain as many as 1,000 dust mites and 250,000 allergenic waste particles. Don't waste money on cleaning air ducts to eliminate dust mites; they don't live there. Dust mites need warmth, humidity, and food—all provided by a human bed.

Dust mites grow best at 75-80% humidity, and they cannot survive when the humidity is below 50%.
Dust Mites Cause Major Health Problems
Many people blame pollen or animal dander for their asthma and allergy problems, when in reality, dust mites are recognized to be the main cause for Asthma, chronic Rhinitis ("Hay Fever") and other allergies. When dust mites grow, they shed their skin. The shed skin and feces are small enough to be easily breathed in by humans, and are what cause the allergic reactions.

Dust Mite derived allergic reactions range from itchy noses and eyes to severe asthma attacks. The droppings of these mites are the most common trigger of reoccurring allergy and asthma symptoms, especially in humid regions where dust mites tend to thrive. Each mite produces approximately 20 fecal pellets each day, which means approximately 2000 during its lifetime. The dust mite can get nourishment from its own droppings and may eat them up to three times over.

Besides asthma, rhinitis, and other respiratory ailments, dust mites can be the cause of other serious health problems such as eczema, rashes, itchy skin or eyes, "glue ear" (a condition which often causes hearing loss), bronchitis, and chronic dermatitis.
