How do I get rid of dust mites?


House dust mites are so tiny they can sit on the tip of a pin. They live in colonies, have 8 legs and look a bit like a bag of clear jelly. Female can lay up to 3 eggs a day during the mite’s short life span of about 10 to 12 weeks. Go to questions for more details or follow the 5 steps to get rid of mites here.
