Since 1987, Auckland Steam ‘n’ Dry Services has provided bed bug and dust mite control throughout Auckland. Dust mites thrive on our dead skin flakes and the warm, humid conditions we create in our beds, so there could be millions of dust mites in your mattress and bedding. Auckland Steam ‘n’ Dry uses a safe, dehydrated, and organic mist treatment to effectively eliminate dust mites and bed bugs, ensuring a cleaner, healthier sleep environment.
Dust Mites
Dust mites are tiny microscopic organisms in your home, within the carpets. They are a problem regardless, but the main issue with dust mites is that they leave their waste products embedded within the carpets, upholstery, curtains and anything with a fabric-like material. Likewise, they will thrive on shed skin from humans while enjoying warm conditions, which means they enjoy living in our homes.
The waste products produced can cause allergic reactions, even asthma, so if you regularly sneeze, cough, or have a runny nose, you could have a dust mite infestation. Indeed, we never make a mattress damp unless necessary.
The mattress is useable straight away with the Steam n Dry Pest Control Auckland Services, and prices start as low as $20 for a cot bed.
Hot Steam for Dust Mite Control
Studies show that over 60°C heat kills dust mites. Our truck-mounted units use 84°C hot steam to kill dust mites in mattresses, upholstery, and carpets. Furthermore, the powerful vacuum removes the allergens exhausted from the outside.
Auckland Steam ‘n’ Dry’s advanced truck-mounted systems generate powerful 84°C hot steam on contact, with adjustable PSI for precise control. Equipped with a powerful 26 HG vacuum, these truck mounts deliver nearly double the heat and control of most other truck-mounted steam cleaners for mattresses, upholstery, and carpets in Auckland. In fact, they offer up to five times the performance of portable carpet cleaners, helping to create healthier homes across West Auckland, North Shore, and East, South, and Central Auckland.
Dust Mite Allergens
Steam ‘n’ Dry Pest Control Auckland Services kill and remove all dust mites and allergens. Cleaning is effective on mattresses, duvets, pillows, carpets, upholstery, and curtains. And it is even effective against pet allergens and other types of allergens such as moulds and pollens.
Dust mite particles can accumulate in pillows, mattresses, carpets, and upholstered furniture. They become airborne whenever someone vacuums, walks on the carpet, or disturbs bedding, only settling again once the movement stops.
Dust mites are a well-known trigger for asthma, especially in children, and their presence isn’t always obvious—homes don’t have to look dirty for dust mites to pose a problem. These microscopic particles are invisible to the eye and often resist standard cleaning methods. In fact, intensive cleaning can sometimes worsen symptoms for allergy sufferers.
Dust Mite Control and Allergen Removal
Fortunately, Steam n Dry Pest Control Auckland Services kills and removes dust mites with a team trained in dust mite removal. We use powerful high-tech hot water extraction for effective carpet cleaning. At the same time, it is also known as a “steam cleaner, ” which can effectively kill and extract dust mites from your carpets.
This method will drastically reduce the symptoms you suffer from dust mite infestation. Once Steam n Dry Pest Control Auckland Service has fulfilled the extraction process, Steam n Dry Pest Control Auckland Service recommends regularly vacuuming your carpets to prevent their return.
Initially, it kills dust mites, germs, bacteria, and viruses and destroys moulds, pollens, and spores with a high-intensity UV-C light or Ozone generator.
Then, remove dead skin flakes, dust mites, waste, allergens, and other debris. An incredibly powerful, specially engineered truck-mounted cleaning unit generates enormous suction and vibration, shaking any dust and debris-free and then sucking it out from the mattress, carpet, and upholstery cleaner.
Finally, neutralize any harmful dust mites and pet allergens on surfaces. Steam ‘n’ Dry Pest Control Auckland Services kills and removes dust mites, their wastes, and allergens, then applies an organic spray that is entirely harmless to humans and animals. It is entirely plant-based and requires no airing. Thus, it will make any allergens safe and leave a protective barrier.
Dust Mite Allergy Symptoms
Typical dust mite allergy symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, irritated eyes, scratchy throat, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
The protein substances in the dust mite faeces produce antibodies in humans, who are allergic when inhaled or touched by the skin. These antibodies cause histamine release, which causes nasal congestion, swelling, and irritation of the upper respiratory passages. The Mayo Clinic, WebMD, and NIH collectively provide the following list of typical allergy symptoms to dust mites. You may experience all or just some of them:
Hay fever.
Watering eyes
Runny nose
Sneezing
Asthma
Difficulty in breathing
Infantile eczema
Itchy, red, or watery eyes
Nasal congestion
Itchy nose, the roof of mouth or throat
Postnasal drip
Cough
Facial pressure and pain
Frequent awakening
Swollen, blue-coloured skin under your eyes
In a child, frequent upward rubbing of the nose
Before the Dust Mite Control Treatment
It would help if you did not do much before the Steam ‘n’ Dry Pest Control Auckland Service team arrived. Also, strip all the linen from the beds and refrain from cleaning.
Treatment
Our service involves inspection with a specially designed kit for dust-mite review. The test is capable of detecting the size of the infestation. No dust-mite-free house exists, as dust mites can appear even in spotless dwellings. However, if high dust mites are present, they can cause allergic reactions.
Steam ‘n’ Dry Pest Control Auckland Services has provided bed bug and dust mite control in West Auckland. Also, in North Shore, Eastern Bays, South Auckland, and Hibiscus Coast. We will advise if further treatment is needed when the test results return. The therapy involves spraying dust mite-killing products, reducing the infestation’s size to normal levels. The technician will spray every soft piece of furniture, bed mattresses, pillows, duvets, carpets, and sofas.
Indeed, there is a drying time of 3 hours that you need to vacate the property.
A: Dust mites are microscopic, spider-like bugs in mattresses, upholstered furniture, carpets, curtains, and other dusty surfaces. Dead skin flakes are their meal of choice, and they like to inhabit environments with high temperatures and humidity.
Can I see dust mites?
Due to their microscopic size of 0.3 mm, you won’t be able to spot the creepy crawlies unless you use a magnifying glass and look in all the right places.
Can dust mites bite?
The statement that dust mites can bite is not correct in the slightest. However, their shed skin and faeces are so lightweight that they can become airborne and cause many allergies. The bugs also release potent enzymes to break down delicate lungs, noses, eyes, or skin cells.
What health problems can dust mites create?
Dust mites in your home can lead to dozens of complications, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other related conditions. They cause conjunctivitis, dermatitis, hypersensitive pneumonia, and allergic and migraines.
How to kill and remove dust mites?
The areas where we sleep are usually teeming with dust mites, so it’s good to cover your mattress, pillows, and duvets with micro-porous covers. Moreover, you can also get rid of carpets and clutter, purchase a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and keep humidity levels as low as possible.
