Dust Mites Pest Control for Sydney Homes and Businesses

Rodent mites (Ornithonyssus bacoti) are small, oval-shaped bugs, similar to bird mites. Adult mites are usually pale in colour, but can appear darker depending on the period it last fed on blood. Although rodent mites are a less common problem than bird mites, rodent mites tend to frequent commercial or industrial buildings.

Rodent mites have a lifecycle that span around two weeks. They mainly feed on rats or rodents, which serve as their hosts. Although rodent mites do not feed on humans, these bugs bite and can cause severe cases of irritation and itchiness.

To stay safe from rodent mites, we recommend that you book pest exterminators to remove rats and rodent mites in your property. Call (02) 8007 4666 to consult our experts.
