Dead skin eating micro bugs.......yum

Picture an average home and imagine a family living in that home. Their carpets, their beds and their furniture all contain clusters of tiny bugs. Every day these arachnids are eating, sleeping, defecating and dying right there on the couch while junior is watching TV, or on the bed while mom and dad are having…a nap.

Now look around your house because, even though you don't see them, they're there! I'm talking about dust mites, microscopic anthropoids that are the leading cause of allergic reactions in the home today. Their favourite food is flakes of dead skin. There's nothing a dust mite loves more than to curl up in a warm, humid environment like your couch or mattress and munch away on a meal of human skin.

All humans shed about 5-10 grams of dead skin each week. About 80% of the material seen floating in a sunbeam is actually flakes of skin.
Dust mites are too small to be seen but are the most common cause of year-round allergy and asthma.
Dust mites live in mattresses, pillows, carpets, furniture, bedcovers, clothes - anywhere they can feed on dead flakes of human skin.
We have a wide range of products to attack dust mites in your home.
HEPA Vacuum Cleaners trap the dust mite allergen inside the bag instead of exhausting it into the air. HEPA vacuum cleaners are sealed tight and won't allow your dust mites to filter through your vacuum back into your air.
