Mould Mites

Mould mites are tiny pests that thrive in humid environments. They are often found alongside mould growth in homes and workplaces.

These pests can trigger allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues, making it essential to address mould mite infestations swiftly. At Mouldgone, we tackle both the mould and the mites effectively.

Mould Mites Facts

Mould mites are a species of mite that feed on mould. If you have a mould issue in your home, it’s likely you may have a mould mite infestation. These mites reproduce rapidly due to their short life cycle. They thrive in areas where they can find a food source, particularly where there’s mould growth.

Mould mites are commonly found in homes, schools and workplace that have damp,moist environments. They often thrive behind air conditioning casings, behind furniture, in bathrooms, on walls and ceilings, or in tiny holes.

These mites can cause allergies and respiratory issues. Effectively managing mould mites requires addressing the root cause: mould growth.

SIGNS OF INFESTATION

Identifying a mould mite infestation can be challenging due to their microscopic size, but there are some tell-tale signs to watch for:

 

 

Visible Mould Growth

Mould mites are drawn to areas with visible mould patches, often on walls, ceilings, or furniture.

Fine Dust-Like Particles

Fine dust or powder near mouldy areas, which are likely clusters of mould mites.

Musty Odour

Skin Or Eye Irritations

Prolonged exposure to mould mites can result in skin rashes, itching, or watery eyes, especially for allergy sufferers.

Damp Or Humid Conditions

If your property has persistent dampness or leaks, it creates the perfect environment for mould and mould mites to thrive.
