Dust Mite

Found indoors worldwide, specifically in humid environments and soft surfaces like mattresses, pillows, carpets, and upholstery where humans and pets spend time.

Primarily feeds on dander (dead skin cells) shed by humans and animals.

They are photophobic (avoid light) and thrive in high humidity (above 60%). They do not drink water but absorb moisture from the air. Their life cycle from egg to adult takes about one month.

They do not bite or sting but are a major source of allergens. Enzymes in their waste (feces) and decaying body parts can trigger asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and eczema in sensitive individuals.
