Dust mite bite vs bed bug bite?

I wake up with bites - how can I tell if they’re from bed bugs or mites? 

Dust mites don’t bite humans. Instead, they feed on skin flakes and may trigger allergies, such as sneezing or itchy eyes. If you notice red, itchy welts, these are more likely to be bed bug bites or reactions from bites by other pests, such as fleas, rodent mites, or spiders. To determine the culprit and therefore treat any bites effectively, it’s essential to try and find and identify the specific pest you are dealing with.

Other mites, such as the house mouse mite or rat mite, may affect people if rodents are in your property. While mites don’t usually live on humans, they may bite when their primary host is gone. If you’re unsure of which pest you are dealing with, contact us to schedule your free inspection today.
