Dust Mite

Found indoors in high-humidity areas like bedding, mattresses, carpets, and upholstered furniture.

Feeds primarily on dead skin cells shed by humans and pets.

They prefer warm, moist environments and complete their life cycle from egg to adult in about a month; they are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

They do not bite but are a major source of allergens; their proteins can trigger asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis in sensitive individuals.
