Mold Mite (Grain Mite / Dust Mite)

Found in environments with high humidity, damp surfaces, decaying organic matter, or stored food products like grains and pet food.

They feed primarily on fungi (mold), yeast, bacteria, and stored food products such as grains, cheese, and seeds.

They multiply rapidly in humid conditions. They are often noticed when they form 'mite dust' on surfaces; they do not fly or jump but crawl slowly.

They do not bite humans or pets but can cause allergic reactions, asthma, or contact dermatitis. In large numbers, they contaminate food sources, making them hazardous to consume.
