My apartment had a severe case of carpet moths and Tom’s Pest Control got rid of them in just one visit. I am so satisfied with their service and it is also very cost effective! They will be visiting again in 2 weeks to make sure all the moths and their eggs are gone, which is amazing! We were advised on how to ensure the pests don’t return. Will definitely be coming here to get my end of lease pest management done!

Dust Mite Bites: The Hidden Health Hazard

Don’t let these invisible invaders bite into your quality of life. Dust mites are microscopic creatures that can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, leading to symptoms like sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes. They are notorious for exacerbating asthma conditions, causing breathing difficulties that can significantly impair daily life. Despite their minute size, the impact of dust mites is massive, turning our homes into havens of hidden health hazards.

Mites are so minuscule that you can barely spot them without a magnifying glass, yet they can be quite a nuisance. These pests inhabit various hosts, including both animals and humans. With numerous mite types, identifying the specific kind can be challenging. As experts in mite removal, we offer effective solutions to eliminate these pests from your property. Trust us to provide a thorough treatment, ensuring a mite-free environment.

Effective Reliable And Affordable Pest Control

Effective, Reliable & Affordable Pest Control in Australia.

Our Mite Control Process

While mites like dust mites don’t bite, it is still recommended that you remove them from your property to avoid health issues like triggering allergies. TPC believes in the complete eradication of mites from your property, which is why we carry out four simple yet effective steps as part of our pest control strategy.

Pest Control Process
Inspection

Any pest infestation demands inspection by experts. This is precisely how we begin the procedure. We will check your property to learn more about the mite infestation. When we do the inspection, our focus is to understand what types of mites are hiding in your space, the level of the infestation, and the damage they have done. We also aim to get answers to what led to this infestation in the first place.

Our next step is to document all the information we have collected so we can create a treatment plan that works well for removing these pests. We will share all the details of the plan with you to help you understand the steps we will follow for the extermination.

Now that we have a customised mite pest control plan ready for your property, our experts will carry out the eradication. We might use approved insecticides to remove the mites without harming you or those in your house. If necessary, we may also use safe sprays to kill the mites.

With pests like mites, ongoing treatment is recommended as a single session can’t bring long-term results. Hence, when we are done with the treatment, we share details on how to maintain cleanliness in your property to remove these pests completely and avoid their return.

Common Mite Species

Scabies Mites

Scabies mites are tiny creatures that can cause a lot of discomfort. They’re responsible for scabies, a skin condition that makes you itch like crazy and develop a rash. These little mites burrow into your skin, which is why they can be such a nuisance. If you’re dealing with scabies, it’s essential to address it quickly to avoid spreading it and to get some relief from the itching.

Bird Mites

Bird Mites

Bird mites, as you might guess from their name, are usually found around bird nests. They’re tiny and can be a bit of a nuisance if they end up in your home. If the birds move out or if the nests are removed, these mites might start looking for new hosts, sometimes including humans. They can bite and cause itchy, uncomfortable spots, especially if they find their way inside.

Rodent Mites

Rodent Mites

Rodent mites are tiny pests that hitch a ride on rats and mice. If you’ve got a rodent problem, there’s a chance you might also find these mites making an appearance. While they primarily live on rodents, they can occasionally bite humans.

Chigger Mites

Chigger Mites

Chigger mites are infamous for their bites. You’ll usually find them in grassy areas, like parks or your backyard. When they bite, they cause itching and red welts on your skin, which can be pretty uncomfortable. Unlike scabies mites, chiggers don’t burrow into your skin; they hang out on the surface and irritate.

Dust Mites

Dust Mites

Dust mites are a common household pest you might not even see, but they’re everywhere, especially in your bedding and carpets. These tiny mites can stir up allergies and asthma symptoms, making things uncomfortable if you’re sensitive. Though dust mites don’t bite, removing them from your property is essential for your family’s well-being.

Store Product Mites

Store Product Mites

Store product mites are the ones you might find hanging out in your pantry. They’re tiny pests that love to make a meal out of stored food products like grains and flour. If they get into your pantry, they can contaminate your food, which is not what you want.

Mould Mites

Mould Mites

Mould mites in Australia are tiny pests that thrive in damp, mouldy environments. If you’ve got a spot in your home where mould is growing, there’s a good chance these little pests are hanging out there too. They feed on the mould and can become quite a nuisance if they start spreading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mites are definitely considered pests. They can be a real hassle because they get into your property, affect your health, and cause other problems. Some mites, like dust mites, can trigger allergies and asthma, while others, like scabies mites, can cause skin issues. So, despite their smaller size, the impact they can have on your health is big, which makes their removal much needed.

To remove mites from your premises, start by cleaning and decluttering your home. Dust and vacuum regularly, especially in areas where mites are likely to live, like carpets and bedding. For more severe infestations, hire our mite removers.

Generally, a combination of thorough cleaning, using anti-mite sprays, and addressing any moisture issues works well. For persistent problems, especially with pests like dust mites or mould mites, professional pest control services might be necessary to fully tackle the issue.

Mites are attracted to dust, moisture, and organic materials. They thrive in damp and dark places, like under sinks, in carpets, and on mouldy surfaces. Keeping your home dry and clean helps reduce the conditions mites love.

It depends on the type of mite. Some mites, like chiggers, do bite and can cause itching and irritation. Others, like dust mites, don’t bite but can cause allergic reactions because of their waste and body parts being airborne.
