Dust mites thrive in warm, humid conditions.
They are commonly found in bedrooms and living rooms, specifically in:
- pillows
- mattresses
- upholstered furniture
- stuffed toys
- carpeting, and
- places where dust collects such as bookcases.
It is not possible to see dust mites with the naked eye and often impractical to test the home for dust mite allergens.
