House Dust Mite

Indoor environments, specifically textiles like mattresses, carpets, upholstered furniture, and dusty vents or filters where humidity is present.

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

They thrive in warm, humid conditions (above 70% relative humidity) and are microscopic, making them invisible to the naked eye. They do not bite but live deep within fiber structures.

Major source of indoor allergens; their waste products and decaying body parts can trigger asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis in sensitive individuals. They provide no known benefit to the ecosystem.
