What Are Mites?
Mites are arachnids and have eight elbowed legs, fangs, and bulbous-shaped bodies. They come in various colors and are extremely small, most mites can not be seen with the naked eye. There are tens of thousands of mite species worldwide with varying features and behaviors. They are often confused for bed bugs and ticks, which feed on blood, while most mites do not.
Signs Of A Mite Infestation
Signs of an infestation vary greatly based on the type of mite. The clear way to confirm a mite infestation is by the site. Some mite species are easier to see than others, for instance, the clover mite is bright red and stands out against most surfaces. Other signs of mite exposure may include health symptoms such as skin irritation and respiratory distress. Due to their micro size and minimal human interaction, it can be difficult and take a long time to confirm a mite infestation. For confirmation, contact a professional pest control company to perform a throughout mite inspection.
How To Prevent A Mite Infestation
Mites can live inside or outside, depending on their species. If they wish to enter your home, they will utilize small cracks and holes attracted to fruit and fertilizer. Rodents and birds also attract mites and can spread a mite infestation around your property and spread to your pets. The best way to help prevent mites in your home is to ensure cracks, holes, and foundations are well sealed and maintain cleanliness by vacuuming floors, upholstery, and window treatments regularly. Managing the trash and clutter in and around your home can also aid mite prevention.
