Did you ever get the feeling that you're sharing your home? It’s true! The house dust mite, an invisible tenant, thrives alongside you. Dive into understanding these tiny beings and discover how to reclaim your living space.

1. Unraveling the Mystery: What is a House Dust Mite?

Microscopic in nature and measuring about 0.2–0.3 millimeters, house dust mites relish warm, humid environments. Their choice of meal? Human skin flakes. Intriguing, isn't it?

2. A Historical Affair: Mites Through the Ages

Having been around for centuries, house dust mites have shared our spaces longer than we recognized. Their discovery traces back to the 17th century, when magnifying tools unveiled their existence.
