11 Ways to Control Dust Mite Allergies

Dust mites can’t be seen but there are millions of them in every unprepared home that cause year-round allergies and asthma. They live in your mattresses, pillows, carpets, furniture, bedding, clothing and anywhere else they can feed on dead flakes of human skin. It’s almost impossible to completely eliminate these tiny pests. However, you can greatly reduce them by taking steps to control them.
