On average, there are two million that infest the average home (like yours). They hide in your carpet, upholstery, drapes, mattress and pillows thrive on dead skin cells, and contain allergens.
Mites can double in numbers in less than 10 hours, and produce between 10 and 20 pieces of feces per day. That is 100,000 dead bodies, and 30 million pieces of feces added to your home each and every day! No home is immune.
Microscopic mite feces and corpses are small enough to be airborne and get into your lungs. 80% of the 11 million Americans who suffer from allergies are allergic to airborne mite refuse. How bad is it? Well, one tenth of the weight of a 2 year old pillow is dust mite feces. Your home is a dust mite nursery, and you could be swimming in their unhealthy mire. They blow in from the outside, thrive on dead skin cells and moisture from our breathing and perspiration They love bedrooms!
