Mold Mite

Damp environments high in moisture and organic matter, such as kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, and storage areas with mold growth

Primarily feeds on mold, fungi, and high-protein/high-fat stored foods like cheese, processed grains, and seeds

Rapid reproduction in high humidity; they often appear as moving 'dust' or white specks when grouped together in large numbers

Generally harmless to structures but can cause skin irritation (grocer's itch), respiratory allergies in humans, and contamination of stored food products
