Dust Mite Control Services

Dust mites are microscopic creatures commonly found in homes, offices, and other indoor environments across Kenya. Though invisible to the naked eye, these tiny pests can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems by contaminating dust with their waste and body fragments. Rafiki Pest Control offers specialized dust mite control services to reduce their populations, improve indoor air quality, and create a healthier living environment for you and your family.

Why Dust Mite Control Is Important

  • Dust mites are a major cause of allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes.
  • They exacerbate asthma symptoms and other respiratory conditions.
  • Reducing dust mite populations improves overall indoor air quality.
  • Effective control reduces the risk of long-term health complications.
  • Creating a cleaner environment enhances comfort and wellbeing.

Causes of Dust Mite Infestations

  • Accumulation of dust in carpets, upholstery, bedding, and curtains.
  • High humidity and warm temperatures favoring dust mite survival.
  • Poor ventilation and infrequent cleaning.
