Dust mites are microscopic pests, but their impact is anything but small. These invisible invaders thrive in your bedding, carpets, upholstery, and even your curtains feeding on dead skin flakes and triggering allergic reactions in many people. If you or your loved ones are constantly sneezing, wheezing, or waking up with itchy eyes or a runny nose, dust mites could be the hidden culprit.
Rafiki Pest Control offers professional dust mite control services across Kenya to help you breathe easier and live healthier.
Why Dust Mites Are a Problem
- Cause of allergies and asthma – Dust mite droppings are one of the leading indoor allergens
- Hard to detect – They are invisible to the naked eye
