Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus

SPECIES: Pyemotes ventricosus ( subclass Acari)

COMMON NAME: dust mite

SIZE: less than 1 mm

LIFECYCLE: An environmental parameter critical to the development of mite populations in homes is the relative humidity. Mite populations develop with difficulty if the relative humidity is below 60%.

HABITAT: usually homes (in textiles, clothing, etc.)

DAMAGE: various allergies.

FEATURES: Usually, mites appear only twice: in the spring, and at the start of winter. Frequent rains in the spring lead to an increase in humidity as heating in homes is still turned on. This creates a warm, humid environment that causes the mites to increase in population. A similar situation can occur at the beginning of winter when home heating leads to a rise in temperature at a time when the ambient humidity is still high.

I want to sterminate it
