Asthma - Dust Mites

What are dust mites?

They are microscopic spiders the size of 200 microns. In particular, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae, living in house dust, and they are important agents responsible for allergic disorders.

These mites live in house dust and in bed components (like mattresses and pillows), feeding on epithelial dander.

A temperature of 18-21 degrees C and 65% -70% relative humidity present the best conditions for their growth. They live between 2-4 months, each female producing 20-50 eggs

Allergic disorders due to house dust mites.

Mites are the main responsible agents for perennial allergic disorders, such as rhinitis and bronchial asthma.

The patients suffering are normally allergic to faecal pellet of mites, that is rich in allergens.

After having identified mites as the cause of the allergic disease of the patient, the treatment is mainly based on avoidance of mites and on specific immunotherapy.

The elimination of mites (or the reduction of their numbers) is the procedure to follow in any case.

BIG CLUE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. If you go to bed with a clear nose but always wake in the morning with a blocked nose then it is highly likely you have a dust mite problem.

So here is what to do.

  1. Throw out any old pillows and buy new ones.
  2. Put the Dust Mite controller on your bedside table. We have tested it for EMF emissions and there are none detectable.

The Drontek DustMite Controller works by emitting a complicated range of acoustic ultrasonic sounds (not heard by humans or pets). These sounds interfere with the feeding and reproductive cycles of the dust mite, immediately reducing the amount of allergens produced by the dust mite (faecal matter) and over a period cause the population of mites to decrease rather than increase.

Testimonial

My two children have suffered from asthma for years. On my doctor's advice, I removed carpets and soft toys but there was still very little change. 4 months ago I bought the Drontek Dust Mite controller for my older daughter and on seeing great results from her I bought another one for my other daughter's room and again I have seen great results - I cannot praise your product enough I am delighted.

This is such a simple and effective approach. We have seen great such results with it preventing recurrence of dust mite infestation, that we highly recommend it.
