What Are Dust Mites?
Dust mites are microscopic insects from the Dermatophagoides and Euroglyphus species. Though invisible to the naked eye (less than 0.5 mm long), they thrive in indoor environments-especially places with high humidity, warmth, and dust buildup.
These mites feed on organic waste, such as dead skin cells and hair, which makes human environments the perfect breeding ground. The average person sheds up to 0.45 kg of skin each year-enough to feed millions of dust mites.
Where Do Dust Mites Live?
Dust mites are commonly found in:
- Carpets with long fibres
- Bedding, mattresses, and pillows
- Upholstered furniture and cushions
- Curtains, drapes, and under furniture
- Seams, cracks, and dark corners
They prefer areas with low light and high human activity where skin flakes, dust, and moisture accumulate.
Dust Mite Infestation & Lifecycle
- Lifecycle: Egg → Larva → Two Nymphal Stages → Adult (30 days total)
- Lifespan: Up to 2 months under warm, humid conditions
- Reproduction: Year-round, often unnoticed due to their microscopic size
One gram of dust can contain hundreds of dust mites-enough to trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Health Risks of Dust Mites
Dust mite exposure is a leading cause of allergies in Sydney. Common symptoms include:
- Asthma and respiratory issues
- Allergic rhinitis
- Eczema and skin irritation
The proteins in dust mite droppings are potent allergens. Each mite produces up to 20 droppings a day, and these can remain in your environment long after the mites are gone.
If you suffer from allergies, regular pest inspections and dust mite treatment can greatly improve your indoor air quality.
