House dust contaminated with fecal pellets and cast skins of
dust mites is one of the most strongly allergenic materials found
indoors. Estimates are that dust mites may be a factor in 50-80 percent
of asthmatic triggers, as well as countless cases of Eczema, hay fever,
and other allergic ailments.
How much trouble could these microscopic cousins of the spider cause?
Lots. Dust mites are extremely fertile in perfect conditions provided by
ventilation systems. These mites feed on the plentiful dust in air
ducts, lay up to 300 eggs, and can leave up to 200 times their weight in
droppings EACH before they die leaving remains behind. In addition to
paying no rent, these unwanted house guests can cause a long and
miserable list of allergy and asthma symptoms which can worsen if more
sanitary conditions are not restored by a thorough
cleaning.
