Where do dust mites live?
House Dust Mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinusand D. farinae are the most common species of house dust mites in North Carolina . These tiny mites are most abundant in warm, humid areas. Contrary to popular belief, house dust mites do not bite or sting. They feed on shed human skin scales that collect in the dust on furniture, particularly mattresses, and on carpeting below beds. House dust mites are important medically because they produce allergens in their secretions and excrement. Inhaling airborne house dust containing mite feces and cast skins is a common cause of asthma in young children. Products containing benzoyl benzoate and other ingredients are often used for severe infestations of house dust mites. However, the long-term solution to reducing a house dust mite problem is sanitation and environmental modifications: * Vacuum (possibly with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner) frequently and thoroughly to remove mites and the organic debris on which they feed. Target critical areas, such as: * ** mattresses and bed frames ** rugs and carpets (especially under beds) ** overstuffed furniture (and the area underneath) * Change air conditioner filters frequently and maintain low (less than 50%) humidity indoors to reduce conditions favorable to dust mites. * Encase mattresses and pillows in plastic covers and change bed linen frequently to help prevent mite populations from building up

How many dust mites live in typical bed?
Tens of thousands probably, sometime more, sometimes less. Control methods include vacuuming and reducing the humidity in your home. However, you can cover beds in mite proof materials, preferably without any chemicals (as these can be just as harmful). Unfortunately just reducing the humidity won't necessarily reduce the mite population in a bed. They (especially the males) huddle together to conserve moisture, hence ensure you air the bed well and take the opportunity on hot sunny days to get your pillows and duvets outside. Washing at 60°C (and it must reach these temperatures for 20 mins) can also significantly reduce both the allergen and dust mites numbers. Dyson did a test to prove this with their contrarotator washing machine, which was the first to pass the British Allergen Foundation approval for a wash cycle. I know as I developed the test with them whilst working at Dyson. Do some homework before answering these questions a typical bed can house up to 10 million dust mites.
